Lot Description
[EARLY PHOTOGRAPHY]. Album containing 72 photographs of self-defense maneuvers. Ca 1895.
4 x 5 1/4 in. silver gelatin photographs mounted recto/verso to album pages. (Toning and spotting.) Sewn and glued album with cloth binding mostly missing (wear and discoloration to page edges and corners). Images feature the same two male subjects posed in different positions, demonstrating self-defense maneuvers including eye-gouging, disarming, and executing choke holds, arm twists, chops, and more. A rather humorous manual.
