The album is quite worn, with several leaves detached, acidic album paper torn and chipped, few photographs detached, etc. It's exactly as I found it. Please examine the photographs provided to help assess condition. This is a wonderful photograph album, richly documenting student life at Cornell, and international steamship and yacht travel, including some private moments and intimate details of an affluent Cornell student's globe-trotting life.

I just listed an amazing 1953 Yale photograph/scrapbook album, if you're interested in similar items.
