The photographs are mounted on the thick album leaves and titled in print on the album leaves (French).
The album is bound in a handsome olive wood binding, with leather spine. On the front binding appears a carved Jerusalem Cross and the word "Jerusalem" (printed) on the back binding appears the word "Jerusalem" .
25 photographs. Average size of photographs: 13.5X9 cm. Album: 17.5X11.5 cm. Good condition. Stains, some to photographs. Defects and some small tears to margins of album leaves. Glue remnants at right margins of the last leaf (where it is attached to the binding). Slight tears to spine.
