For example, British soldiers and sailors around 1900 and a very large glossy picture of George Washington in a pose after the well-known history painting Washington Crossing the Delaware by Emanuel Leutze (1851). The bindings each with defects, overall with signs of age and wear, worn. The largest album with some recent glossy images.
