Inside are 50 Civil War era CDVs (Cartes de Visite), Amost aLL have names written under them! The photos are of excellent quality and are crisp and clear, what a treasure for a descendant.

This album is a little unusual in that it has ink names in the album under the photos, plus penciled names on the back (in a different handwriting) and, in some cases, spidery ink writing on the back as well (in a third handwriting)

The photos seem to start circa 1860 and go up to the 1890s, with most being of the Civil War period.
