This carte-de-visite album consists of 50 folios into which 50 carte-de-visites were inserted, but of which 3 are missing.

The majority of the portraits are of the MacGillivrays, but there are also portraits of family friends and acquaintances.
This is volume 1 of this accession. The album is bound with hard leather with two metal clasps.
