This is an antique victorian era photo album. The green velvet covers is padded & worn. It has a heart shaped mirror on the cover, with some pretty details around it. The front cover corners have nice details on it too with cherub faces & wings. A few of the pages are loose. The album is fill with cabinet cards & a CDV's.
All the photos are from Illinois. Most are from Chicago, but other towns include, Elgin, Mendota, Sterling, Princeton, Shelbyville, Rock Island, Aledo, Harvard, Hoopeston, Oneida, Champaign, & Alton.
Names that I have found are, Bowen, Robinson, & Martin.
I will be calling this set the "The Green Velvet Photo Album."
Please enjoy this new set.

Maurice was not the first Rothschild to be located on Chicago's premiere retail thoroughfare. Abraham Rothschild had opened A.M. Rothschild & Co. on State Street in 1895, which it just so happened, stood directly across from Maurice's emporium. Abraham committed suicide in 1902, and his widow married Maurice Rothschild three years later.

Rothschild Company, located at State Street & Van Buren St in Chicago. This was probably within the A.M. Rothschild Department Store, the original building having been completed in 1881. At the time, it was a retail center of Chicago, with numerous mercantiles and dry goods stores lining the street. Later, in 1912, a new building was completed at the same location. A.M. Rothschild was eventually bought out by their neighbor, Marshall Fields in 1923. Various retailers occupied the space over the years, including Sears & Roebuck, but it now houses the downtown campus of De Paul University.
