Abstract
One photograph album of 39 pages containing 40 photographs apparently created by a resident of Keyser, Mineral County, West Virginia, on evidence of the numerous cabinet cards produced by photographers in that city. Although the creator of the album is unknown, many of the pictures have identifications and dates; the subjects of these photos in some cases have been verified as residents of Keyser. These subjects are apparently family and friends of the album's creator.
