One scrapbook created from a Boston business directory entitled Business Album, Houlton House, published 1868. It is in a cloth binding, with one-quarter red morocco (spine and corners). "Business Album" is stamped on the spine; "Houlton House" is stamped on the front and back covers. The scrapbook images have been mounted to each of the 152 pages, covering the text and images of the business directory. Most of the scrapbook images are in black and white, although there are also some chromolithograph images included. The images include a wide variety of subjects: portraits of well-known political, historical and social figures, political cartoons, fashion, architecture, flora and fauna, and illustrated poems. The prefatory notice on the last page is dated 1868.
