A latched box sits on 2 knobs on the front legs, showing photographic portraits under oval openings. The proper left portrait shows a man [LeRoy Abdiel Kent] with mutton chop sideburns joining a mustache. He is wearing a suit and black bowtie. The proper right portrait shows a woman [Blanche Hollister Kent] with dark, braided hair looking to the side. She is wearing a dark blouse with a white standing collar secured with a large brooch at the center front. She is also wearing a large necklace. The box opens to become a scrapbook holding 16 other photograph portrait cards [sitters unidentified].
