Leather photo album and 62 original photographs included, mostly cabinet cards and CDVs, with some tintypes and a couple of smaller formats.. All dating back to the Civil War period to about circa 1890. All but a couple or few are from California cities, including Colusa, Sacramento, San Francisco, Woodland, Santa Rosa, Marysville, Napa and San Jose. Although not identified, the man and woman in listing picture #4, upper left corner, appear to be William Byas Gibson and his wife Mary, so some of the people could be members of the Gibson family. The Gibson Mansion still stands and is a museum in Woodland, California (more info can be found on Wikipedia). The ID’d man, Dr. Hallam, is buried in Brownsville, Texas, so there could be a Texas connection as well; two of Hallam’s brothers are buried in California. The album is missing its clasp and there is some damage to the leather on the spine. The inside is in very good to excellent antique condition. The vast majority of photos are in very good or excellent antique condition, with a handful having some issues.
