I bought an amazing collection of 1880's photographs at an estate sale. They were in a book called "Around The World" which was purchased in Paris (see the label. Please note this label was on the book cover and not on the photo sheet). The cover of the book was falling off and the back cover and spline were completely missing, so I have decided to sell the photos individually.

T are at least 3 important photographers represented --Pascal Sebah, Abdullah Freres, and Samuel Bourne. T are 10 signed Sebah photographs on 5 pages, and 12 Freres signed photographs on 6 pages. In addition, t are incredible photos of Japan, India including the Taj Mahal, Singapore, Egpyt, and much more.
