This very unusual German musical photo album dates to the late 19th century and is in very good overall. The wood cover is carved in the Black Forest style and has a wolf’s head in the middle of the front. The back is carved in an incised wood grain style and the binding looks like a leather bound book. It has a brass latch at the end that operates the key wind cylinder player hidden in a cavity at the back of the photo album. The music box plays two tunes and is in operating condition. The photo album is mostly empty except for 4 CDV photos. There are some losses to the carving surrounding the wolf’s head on the front as pictured. It measures 9 inches long by 5 3/4 inches wide and is 2 3/4 inches deep.
