Vintage British Art Deco Photograph Album – Geometric Cover – c.1930s – Holds 250 Cards
-
Step back into the stylish world of the Art Deco era with this beautifully preserved British-made photograph album, dating from the late 1920s to mid-1930s and featuring an iconic geometric cover design.
-
The front board displays a wonderfully bold arrangement of circles, lines and symmetrical forms, all centred around a stylised “ALBUM” monogram — exactly the kind of elegant modernism that defined the interwar years. Understated, graphic, and effortlessly sophisticated.
-
Open the album and you’ll find black card pages, each with neatly cut slits ready to hold up to 250 postcards or photographs. These albums were originally sold in British department stores and photography studios at a time when postcard collecting and seaside photography were at their peak. Today they make gorgeous keepsake books, display pieces, or classic additions to any Art Deco collection.
