1880's Leather-Bound Well Appointed Gauffered Edged CDV and Tintype Album--30 Images Title: 1880's Leather-Bound Well Appointed Gauffered Edged CDV and Tintype Album--30 Images Publication: 1880's Description: Leather-Bound Well Appointed Gauffered Edged CDV and Tintype Album 1880's--30 Images Fully embossed leather-bound album (6 x 5 1/4 inches) with metal straps and buckles. One buckle missing; leather remains supple yet edges are rubbed with area 1 ¼ x ¾ inches on front with surface leather gone. Overall, very good condition. "Photograph Album" in gilt on spine. All edges gilded with very pleasing gauffered edges. Gauffered edges are created by heated finishing tools or rolls which indent a decorative pattern. In this case the edges exhibit a repeating floral design. Decorative endpapers with gilt dentelles inside front and back board. Interior pages have light soiling, especially to fore edge. All the photo windows are intact. This little album is a prime example of an 1880's CDV album. Nice embellishments in leather boards, gauffered edges with gilt finishes. The 30 photos include twenty-five CDV's and 5 mounted tintypes. Not all photos examined but those we did pull out were mostly from mid-west photographers (Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Wisconsin, Missouri) with one Boston studio included. The subjects in the photos are not identified as best as we can tell. CDV collecting was a craze in the 1860's thru 1880's. Relatives and friends would mail far-flung family members newly photographed images; friends would leave CDV's as calling cards. The CDV format was easier and cheaper to produce than tintypes, and were extremely popular throughout North America and Europe through the 1880's.

The document is rough, but the seller's pictures accurately showed the condition which was acceptable to me for how I plan on displaying it; prompt shipment and nicely packaged for shipment.
