Lots of great cartes with some very rare ones in Africa. Numbers 49 to 76 are all from an album I purchased at auction years ago. Some had the blind stamp of J. Davis of Samoa (since sold), others of these are Woodbury & Page of Indonesia. All are albumen and all were obviously brought home unmounted as there was/is no photographers imprint on any. You must decide where these folks were from according to the native dress. All are very scarce items. Enjoy! Please ignore any pinkish tones in the photos as they are not there, but from my scanner.
