In addition to portraits of members of this family, the album contains a photographic reproduction of a painting, a portrait of Gérard Leman, and a portrait of Prince Baudouin of Belgium. The photographs were taken by various Belgian photographers, including Palmer Descamps, Géruzet Frères, and F. Meeus-Verbeke. The photographer of 7 photographs is anonymous.
