This
small gem tintype album measuring 82 x 91 mm has a moulded green cover
with a stylized floral motif on the front and back, and six
pages. Every page has four arch-shaped inserts for photos on
each
side, although there are only 35 photos in the album. Each
tintype measures roughly 19 x 26 mm, although they are not completely
regular. The photos are generally in very good condition,
although half a dozen of them show some "wrinkling" to a greater of
lesser extent. Many of them show some hand tinting,
consisting of
a pinkish tinge to the cheeks. The pages are also in fairly
good
condition, although they show some browning, and a couple have small
tears. The most interesting feature of the album is that a large proportion - 27 out 35 - of the photos have been annotated with names, all in the same hand. In addition, the front inside cover of the album has the name "Henry H. Hinckley" written diagonally across the page. The subjects of the photos are varied, as follows:
