About this work

Photo album with two lacquer panels. The original leather spine has been replaced by (presumably) linen. On the front panel four persons with an umbrella, executed in ivory. The back panel is plain black. The album contains nine cardboard sheets covered with silk. Each page has cutouts for cabinet photographs and cartes-de-visite. Around these are painted decorations: flowers, birds, and landscapes.
