House of Representatives, Massachusetts, 1881

Volume contains "62 Albertype plates with 245 photographic portraits. Such portrait albums were traditionally produced with albumen prints---this is the only photomechanical one of a state legislature that has come to light. There do exist a few college albums such as this, and there are two large books with portraits of legislators in new York and Massachusetts."--Hanson Collection catalog, p. 79.
