Features of the hill country, Florida
This is an 1894 promotional album of Leon County, Florida, issued by its Board of County Commissioners, probably in Tallahassee, to show settlers and investors the land's scenery and farms. Its plates are arranged as clusters of cabinet-style photographs set in ornate oval and scalloped frames, with shaded backgrounds and handwritten-style captions. A designer could borrow the rounded photo-vignette layouts and the Victorian ornamental borders for period-style pages.
