Late Victorian era photograph album featuring a dark green celluloid front cover with an embossed cream-colored vignette. The central motif depicts a classical female profile within a rococo-style frame, surrounded by roses and two putti at the base. The album is fitted with four brass-toned decorative corner guards and a matching metal clasp. The spine and rear cover are bound in dark leather or cloth. Internal pages consist of heavy cardstock with die-cut apertures for various photographic formats, including cabinet cards. Each page is decorated with chromolithographed Lily of the Valley floral patterns. The album contains a collection of original late 19th and early 20th-century photographs, featuring portraits of infants, children, and adults. A newspaper obituary fragment is pasted on one page, identifying a Henry Krather, husband of the late Elizabeth Krather, with mentions of Memphis and individuals George H. Gehbauer, Lawrence Koblenzer, and Dr. James Allison McFall.
