1886-1890 AMERICAN ALBUMEN PHOTO ALBUM - NEW JERSEY - NIAGARA FALLS etc. by Elijah S. Cowles

11 x 12" photo album with a black cover and worn brown spine; "Photographs" is printed in an elegant script in gold on the front cover. The name "Elijah S. Cowles" is printed on the first page of the album and a quick Google search finds an Elijah Strong Cowles, who was born in 1836 and died in 1911 in Jersey City. This partially filled album contains around 14 large albumen photos measuring between 7.25 x 6.75" and 9.25 x 7.5" which are glued to the pages. Most of the photos are accompanied by handwritten annotations identifying locations. Locations appear to be Bloomingdale, New Jersey, a Children's Home in J.C. (Jersey City?), Mount Pocono, and some lovely photos that seem to be of Niagara Falls. The photos are from 1886 to 1902. Some of the pages have come loose from the binding.
