Photograph album containing 20 cabinet cards (9 collodion printing-out paper, 6 gelatin silver printing-out paper prints, 4 albumen, 1 gelatin silver developing-out paper), 3 albumen cartes-de-visite, 2 tintypes, and 1 gelatin silver loose print. The photographs are of women (10), children and infants (9), men (5), and families (2), many of whom seem to be related to a woman named Alleyne. The album is covered in brown faux leather which is heavily embossed with a genre scene on the front cover, and a basket-weave pattern on the back cover. The album originally closed with a metal clasp, part of which is now lost. Eight of the interior pages have color botanical designs framing the photograph spaces. The cabinet prints include: 3 by H.
