Green leather halfbound photo album with gold tooling on spine, 'Frith's Photo Pictures. Thebes'. Marbled endpapers bearing two bookplates: 'The Prince of Wales's Library' and 'E VII Sandringham'. Gilt textblock edge. Contains RCIN 2701215-282. Contains 68 pages of photographs mounted one per page, with pencil captions and photographer's reference numbers. This refers to the index [photographer's catalogue] pasted onto the first page, dated 1870. The pages appear to have been trimmed prior to binding, as parts of the captions have been sliced away. Contains views of Thebes, mostly architectural views from Egypt's Pharonic era.
