Souvenir Album of Original Photographs of Madeira, Including a Large Panorama
Description: Accordion-folded album containing nine original albumen photographs of Madeira, including a four-panel panorama of Funchal. Images measure 6.5 \"x 9\" and are backed with linen; red cloth album measures 6.75\" x 9.5\" (oblong). Some fraying to boards, final photograph creased at the edge; all else very good. Undated, but likely 1880s. In addition to the panorama, there is a photograph of a couple in an ox-drawn sledge (a common mode of transport on the island) and another of two finely dressed women, one of whom is sitting in a litter that will be carried by hand. Another shows Funchal Bay with several three-masted ships in harbor. Madeira became a popular destination for European tourists in the mid-19th century.

Shipping: For orders of more than one book, we will combine shipping whenever possible. Priority and International shipping are available. Please contact us for a quote.
Condition Descriptions Defined: We grade our books and dust jackets using the traditional language of the antiquarian book trade. In brief: Fine is the highest grade and means essentially as new, without visible faults or defects; Near Fine means approaching fine, but with one or more very minor defects or faults, which will be noted; Very Good means the book shows some general (but not too offensive) signs of wear and use, which will be noted; Good means the book is complete and intact, but has more wear or some internal markings. Any ex-library book will be graded no higher than Good, even if it is otherwise a very nice copy. Again, all flaws will be noted. We rarely offer any books in Fair or Poor condition, but if we do, the reasons for the grade will be evident from the photo(s) and description.
Guarantee & Returns: All books are guaranteed as described and can be returned within 30 days for any reason. Please notify us in advance of any return.
