25 albumen prints (various sizes c. 165– 220 x 175-290mm, and the reverse), most with corners rounded-off, five trimmed into ovals, each mounted on white paper and in turn mounted in an album, 2° (535 x 420mm), onto leaves of taupe-coloured paper. (Occasional minor fading, occasional minor scattered spotting mainly in the mount, but overall in very good condition.)
