Images primarily from New Haven studios, but image 001 is from San Francisco and others were taken in New Orleans, Cleveland, New Castle England and Brooklyn. The album includes images of Stephen Douglas and an Ellsworth Guard. There are two images identified as Porths . Al Geddes' wife Claire was the daughter of Herman L. Trisch of New Haven whose grandmother was Amelia Porth. Amelia was the daughter of a Frederick Porth - a Bavarian-born watchmaker who settled in New Haven in the late 1850s. Image number 009 identified as "Grandpa Porth" shows a corporal in a union uniform.
If the identification of the album is accurate, then page 5 and 6 (identified as 'my mother' might be Herman Trisch's mother, Amelia Porth Trisch. Amelia committed suicide in 1892. Page 25 would then be Margaret and Amelia Porth. Page 27 appears to be the same child as pictured on page, 25 and therefore, would also be Amelia Porth.
Included in the album are Max Freun and Charles Stoll (Stoll lived briefly in New Haven but primarily in Illinois and Missouri).
