One bound scrapbook entitled Album, a collection of domestic images mounted to paper (forming leaves within the scrapbook). There are 45 pages of images; the second half of the album is blank. The scrapbook contains cutout images of a primarily domestic nature, and are arranged by use. For example, a kitchen-themed page contains images of cookware, dishes and flatware, stoves and food storage containers. Another page represents a parlor, and contains images of furniture, carpets, drapes, and household decorative items. The album contains both black and white images (possibly taken from magazines and newspapers) and chromolithograph images. The images themselves appear to be from ca. 1875 to 1895, but the album seems to have been assembled ca. 1900. Although the majority of the images are of domestic items and furnishings, there are also images of people, flowers and outdoor scenes. The album itself is bound in green cloth, and is embossed with black and gilt floral patterns. A color scene is centered on the front cover. A compositor's name is not given.
