Album fotografico cm 22,5 x 19,5, contenente 21 fotografie originali cm 17 x 12,5 applicate sui fogli dell'album. Legatura in tela con al piatto anteriore in oro la dicitura 'Album G. Manfredi'. Il nome G. Manfredi compare anche in calce a tutte le fotografie che hanno a loro volta una didascalia stampata sulla foto stessa. La raccolta presenta le immagini di: Lima (Puente de piedra; Plaza de S. Ana; Palacio Exposition; Puente Verrugas ferrovia de Oroya; Darsena Callao). Kingston, Giamaica (Parco Vittoria; Raccolta dei Banani; Vista generale; Via della Chiesa; Montegobay (3); Falmouth; Callerey (2); Panama (Calle de Soles; Costa; costruzioni e scavi probabilmente legati alla realizzazione del canale). Le fotografie presentano una uniforme sbiaditura che pero' non ne compromette la leggibilita'. Il fatto che a margine di un supporto in cartone sul quale non e' stata applicata alcuna fotografia, compaia a stampa l'indicazione: Foto G. Manfredi - Vestigne' (Ivrea), puo' far identificare l'autore in Giuseppe Manfredi, autore nel 1913 dei Ricordi storici di Vestigne'.
