Five 19th Century leather albums-- rough condition, bindings very worn, images generally acceptable— though some are cropped— as a lot they have a used, unsophisticated, folk feel, often lost with more polished albums. There are some exceptional images mixed in.  Sold as a collection of images. 

  • Couch family, Westport, CT., c. 1907-10, assembled by a child, George Washington Couch (1895-1977)-- re-appropriated earlier album filled with vernacular snapshots, some cropped, many taken out doors-- an American boy album with images of circus animals, a blacksmith's shop, a church, a fanciful regatta, a dog, car,  etc; family images, including dead brother. Charming. As FOUND.
  • Memorial album (?) filled with images of an unidentified woman over about 40 years, c. 1879-1920's.  Earliest are cdv's with British imprints (G. Hadley). Album contains an eclectic and uneven grouping of 18 images --some backed, some not, a few trimmed,  dated on the page below the image.  Album also has 1 silhouette & a CDV of a man dated Christmas, 1885. AS FOUND.  1 clasp; spitting at gutters; some images loose.
