A Cloth bound photo album from the first few years of the 20th century and are snapshots of people and places. With the album came many loose photos that seem to belong with this album.
Many of the photographs were taken and developed by an amateur and so the quality is sometime poor. Many of these images have been manipulated in Photoshop.
