Oscar II King Of Sweden & Christian IX King Of Denmark Photograph Album O AS IS

Description: Oscar II King Of Sweden & Christian IX King Of Denmark Photograph Album - AS IS The cover features portraits/paintings of Oscar 2nd - King of Sweden (who reigned from 1872 until his death in 1907) and Christian 9th - King of Denmark (who reigned from 1863 until his death in 1906) - I believe this album was made in order to commemorate the lives of these two men, following each of their deaths - Therefore, my best guess would be that this album was made circa 1907-1908 Edwardian Era - Antique - Includes metal lock and two small metal feet on the back cover Albums includes 15 photographs: These include 3 cabinet cards made by "Bristol" in Wellsboro, PA; 1 photo postcard dated 1913; 1 cabinet card by "Smart" in Renovo, PA; 5 unmarked cabinet cards; 2 cabinet cards by "Sweet" in Wellsboro, PA; 1 cabinet card by "New York Gallery" in Williamsport, PA; 1 cabinet card by "J. W. C. Royal?" in Lockhaven, PA; 1 cabinet card by George Nichols in Renovo, PA The cover is protected by a layer of plastic - Decorative metal border around the front cover The spine and spine seem to have originally been decorated with a green layer of floral design (possibly satin or velvet?), with a dark purple or black layer underneath 11 1/4" Tall x 9 1/2" Wide x 3" Thick (with feet) Used - AS IS CONDITION The binding of this album has come undone - The pages of matting are separated down the middle of the album into 4 different sections - As a result, there are numerous loose threads, tears in the binding, and the pages no longer fit together in a cohesive way Heavy damage to the matted pages of the book - This includes dust, light scratches, scuffs, small discoloration spots, small areas of surface wear, bends, crimps, numerous margin tears around the edges of the individual photograph mattes and some tears to the paper backings of some of the pages Heavy chipping to the white background of the cover - I am not sure how this is possible, since all of the paint appears to be under a protective plastic covering/layer, but this is the condition regardless - No other color seems to have sustained any substantial loss - Some brown discoloration/dust/dirt spots on the cover as well Light spots of tarnish on the decorative metal cover border and on the lock - No visible spots of rust Most of the decorative green fabric which once adorned the spine and back cover is now worn off and missing, revealing the base piece of purple/black fabric underneath - Fabric also has a large vertical tear on the spine Metal lock is in good condition, works, and is not missing any pieces - However, the album won't stay closed because the binding of this album has come apart, and the pages of matting no longer fit together in a cohesive way Some scratches and scuffs from age and handling Thank you!
