Another flea market, and a beautiful find, a very old photo album. The oldest cabinet card inside is dated 1822.
The album takes the expression "wear and tear" to a new dimension. It once had a red velvet cover, which has mostly crumbled away. I canīt really explain why things like these delight me so much, but they do
You ought to post scans/photos of the pictures inside the album, particularly the 1822 one, if you haven't already. You don't hear of photos that old surviving very often.
