Cartagena de Indias Photograph Album
Content Description
c.1890-1910. Personal photograph album consisting of twelve leaves and a front cover all made of board and unbound. The cover is decorated with a watercolor painting of a woman in a purple Victorian era dress holding a bouquet of flowers with the title, "Snap Shots," in the upper left corner. The leaves contain 4 to 8 gelatin silver chloride prints adhered to the board, plus two loose photographs, totaling 52 prints.

Several photographs document a residence in a rural area, presumably outside of Cartagena. The owner of the album is unknown as is the photographer. 48 total photographs.
