Postcard album 1905
A 7.5"x5.5" album titled "Souvenir de L'Indo-Chine" containing 98 black-and-white collotype photographic postcards. Virtually
all of the pages of the album have become detached from the binding. The postcards depict life in Tonkin, or northern Vietnam,
especially Hanoi and surrounding areas, during French colonial rule. The date 1905 comes from an inscription in the front
of the album and may not reflect the creation date of the cards themselves.
