rif. 2916A lovely album containing 74 large original photographs from five trips. These are Berlin 1895 French Alps and Nancy in 1896 Trier in 1897 Interlaken and the Swiss Alps in 1898 and the Tirol in 1899. The photographs were purchased from prominent commercial photographers of the time. The French photographs are largely from ND Phot the Swiss from Schroeder & Cie of Zurich and Edition Photoglob. The majority of the prints are either albumen or early silver gelatin prints. As the early silver gelatin were so similar to albumen it is difficult to tell. There are a number of colourised prints. Most of the prints are quite large with quite a few as large as 210 mm x 275 mm. Most are printed one to a page but a couple of the smaller prints are printed two to a page. One of the images is a double / folding photograph. Album size 27cm x 36cm Un bel album contenant 74 grandes photographies originales de cinq voyages. Il s'agit de Berlin 1895 des Alpes françaises et de Nancy en 1896 de Trèves en 1897 d'Interlaken et des Alpes suisses en 1898 et du Tyrol en 1899. Les photographies ont été achetées auprès d'éminents photographes commerciaux de l'époque. Les photographies françaises sont en grande partie de ND Phot les suisses de Schroeder & Cie de Zurich et d'Edition Photoglob. La majorité des épreuves sont soit à l'albumine soit à des épreuves gélatino-argentiques anciennes. Comme la première gélatine d'argent était si semblable à l'albumine il est difficile de le dire. Il existe un certain nombre d'imprimés colorisés. La plupart des tirages sont assez grands avec un bon nombre aussi grand que 21 cm x 275 cm La plupart sont imprimés un à une page mais quelques-uns des plus petits tirages sont imprimés deux à une page. L'une des images est une photographie double / pliante. Taille de l'album 27 cm x 36 cm unknown
