Brown leather binding with blind embossing, title &ldquo;Album&rdquo; in golden letters on the front cover. Gilt edges, white moir&eacute; endpapers. Pencil pagination in top outer corner, which does not include the portrait inserted in front of the first entry (Henriette Sontag) and has a gap between pp. 6 and 9, possibly indicating the later removal of an album leaf. The pagination of the facsimile starts with the pagination in the album, but includes the portrait (pp. 3&ndash;4) and does not account for the gap, and is thus identical to the pencil pagination on the pages 1&ndash;2 and 9&ndash;98.</p>","author":[{"family":"Droese, Janine"},{"family":"Helmholz, Karsten"}],"id":"9860","issued":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,28]]},"note":"The research on the Album of Louis Brassin, was funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation) under Germany's Excellence Strategy \u2013 EXC 2176 'Understanding Written Artefacts: Material, Interaction and Transmission in Manuscript Cultures', project no. 390893796.
