Each card measures 3 x 5 and is in very fine condition. The media appear to be pen, ink, colored pencil, and watercolor. Each appears to have been done in the same hand. Also included is another card, slightly larger, in poor condition, in a different hand, and dated the day before.

While most people probably probably aren't aware that chocolate boxes c1920 would often come with a hand tinted photo of a beautiful woman on it, my dad had a large collection of the actual boxes. Thus, I've been seeking the boxes out for years. So, when I saw this album for sale at a market earlier this year, I had to have it.
As a sample book, it is large (17 x 13 inches) and quite heavy thanks to the reinforced binding. The box tops are heavy too and most have elaborate designs and bows as well as the photos. Many of the pages have glassine between them, although the first page is missing and thus the photos have rubbed a bit against the endpaper. One photo has been partially ripped off. It's difficult to find these boxes in any sort of condition, let alone the very-good to fine condition most of these tops are in. Many of the pages have notations as to how many pounds of chocolate would fit in each box. As you'll see, the five pound boxes must have been quite large.

Freeman "Fritz" Davis loved to doodle. He also loved football. It seems he did not love Twelfth Night. Included in the doodles are portraits of various Scranton residents, a scene of Bellafonte vs Bucknell, and a few other football players. Taking up two pages is Scranton's (?) Schedule and the outcomes. Most of the doodles are on the endpapers and other blank pages, but others appear on pages 45, 93, & 160. It also merits attention that there is one page of assignments, but we can only wonder if he did them. The book is in very good condition with some wear to the cover design.

This album was made in England and has 8 pages and 24 photos. Each has a pasted in caption. The shots are touristy. A few things have different names now or are no longer there at all, like the Alexander III statue. The shot of the Nizhny Novgorod fair shows a woman in native Russian dress, which you would only see out in the more provincial cities, like Nizhny, even back then, unless at a fancy dress party.
The album is bound like a book, with paper covers that have have some light wear. The photos are in very good to fine condition.
