The overall condition of the album is very good with
some minor warping of the cover possibly due to the way it had been
stored. There is a minor page separation in the front and back of the
album (see photos) that is easily repairable.
All the entries in this album are photographs.
Most are original photos of actual people. Some photos, as in the case
of Gen. Banks, are of a painting.
This particular photo being duly noted
with the words:
“ENTERED ACCORDING TO ACT OF CONGRESS, IN THE
YEAR 1861, BY J.B. BUFFORD, IN THE CLERK’S OFFICE OF THE DISTRICT
OFFICE OF THE DISTRIC COURT OF MASSACHUSETTS”
