Notable real photographic postcards (RPPCs) include portraits of the Rev. L.O. Lewis of Lindal-in-Furness and Bishop H.C. Glyn Moule of Durham, as well as theatrical cards featuring Miss Isabel Irving and Miss Mollie Lowell. A historical curiosity includes a card depicting the casualties of the Earp-Clanton feud in Tombstone, Arizona. Visible publishers include Atkinson's Series, Valentine's, and J. Salmon Ltd. No ownership signatures are visible on the album itself.
