Photo album with 25 photographs distributed over 24 pages. The first photograph is loose in the album. All photographs concern shop interiors, including butchers, grocers, bakers, and druggists. The shops are located throughout the Netherlands, though Amsterdam appears more frequently than other cities. Each photograph has handwritten captions with the name of the shop, address, and city. The maker is anonymous for all photographs except the first. According to the article 'The Merits of a Cash Register' by Fleur Roos Rosa de Carvalho, this is a presentation album made on commission for the National Cash Register, the manufacturer of the cash registers visible on the counters in the photographed shops.
