The Brown Album

This album belonged to Francis Ferrier, and was passed to his daughter Delphine (my grandmother). This album consists of a mixture of "typical" and larger photos. Some have identification or comments on the back, but most do not. There were also two loose photos, placed between a couple of the pages. One is identified as McIntosh. The other is Francis Ferrier, taken while he was still living in Vallejo. The dark photos (for example, bottom right on page 1) are tin types.
