Antique Victorian Era Easel Standing Celluloid Photo Album with Clasp and Velvet HingeThis antique photo album has a metal bar easel stand and the decorative picture is landscape rather than portrait like the majority of other albums of this period. On these antique albums, the metal wing or bar can be pulled out or swung downward, functioning exactly like a modern picture frame\'s back support. It props the thick, heavy book upright at a slight angle so it can be displayed prominently as tabletop or parlor decor rather than being stored flat. Albums equipped with this specific feature are often referred to by collectors as standing photo albums.

Decorative metal edging on the album cover.
The album is empty. Approximately 8 3/4\" x 10 1/2\"
The cover on this album is beautiful as the young gentlemen courts the young woman. The cards show waviness and tears. The clasp works but does not stay shut because it requires the album to be thicker with pictures. Please see pictures as part of the description.
