The cameo full face rendering is especially gorgeous, exhibiting the illustrious headdress and the impeccable attire of the American Indian tribal chief. My photos show the true nature of the album very well and the condition is extremely favorable with no significant flaws, just a little aging but nothing serious. I find this album to be in much better condition that most I find, in fact, it is marvelous. The four corners, as well as the frame around the portrait, are embossed with a delightful design that will be appreciated when seen.
The scenic portion of the album shows a waterway or pond, which would have been an integral part of the natural surroundings for any Indian tribe. The brassy toned clasp is in excellent condition, functioning as it should and the outer edging of the pages maintain plenty of their gold gilt. The backside and spine of the album are wrapped with a colorful floral velvet and the condition is superb, really hard to find them with only a little nap loss, basically very, very good. The celluloid, spine, velvet cover and pages are all well attached, nothing loose, letting go or falling apart. The interior has 12 pages that will hold 2 different sized photos, most are for approx. 4 by 6 inch photos and the last 2 pages are framed for 2¼ by 3½ inch smaller pictures or tintypes. 
The album has a good amount of photos in their frames, most fit well and a few are various sizes. A few spots are empty but that's mostly in the smaller sized frames. The gold stenciling on the pages is very pretty, there is the usual occasional wear on some of the pages but for the most part, the interior is quite good, not even much of the typical slot tearing. The binding is secure and overall the album measures 8 inches wide by 10½ inches in height and lays about 2 inches up from the table. In my opinion, this album is in excellent condition, I wish I could find them all this good. This historically dynamic album will make for an outstanding addition to your treasured antiques or surely a very thoughtful and exciting gift. I do believe that anyone would be proud to own this antique celluloid album.
