Summary
The album contains various print types, mainly photo mechanical, in a leather and fabric album with satin end papers and each page holding four prints [not all filled]. Images are inserted by slots in the page. All pages are green, end papers cream, cover greens. All images captured by GB Shaw, with the probable exception of two. Album only partially filled, probably non-contemporaneously and thus not by Shaw. Images of Shaw's Corner, one of Kim and a GB Shaw portrait. Please note: the album images do not have measurements in order to avoid unnecessary handling/removal of prints, all untrimmed and approximately 10.2 by 17.6 cm. For the same reason not all have been removed to check the verso's.
