Large velvet album (about 11" tall when closed) with 49 total images inside, all pre-1900 and original cabinet cards, tintypes and CDVs.
These were mostly members of the DePew family of California and Montana... they were the relatives of the silent film cinematographer Hap DePew.. who might be in here somewhere, but if so he is not identified and I don't know what he looks like. There are several IDs, however.
Photos are from California (Stockton, San Jose, San Francisco), Montana (Great Falls, Helena) and I did see some from Michigan as well, Lapeer and Detroit. Both the album and the photos as a whole are in very good antique condition, with a small amount of expected age-related wear. The overall album condition is definitely better than average.
