A collection of 632 photographs in 11 albums of cities and scenery of Europe, dating from approximately 1890s. The photographs were collected and mounted into albums by the Hamilton Andrew Hill family of Boston, Massachusetts beginning in 1890, when members of the family sailed to Great Britain, May 3, 1890 (written at the beginning of Album 1). Primarily cabinet-sized prints, with some larger, the images are by various European photographers including George Washington Wilson, James Valentine, Francis Frith & Company, Francis Bedford, and Fratelli Alinari. The first three albums have captions in ink and some pressed flowers glued to pages; the others have no writing. Views include architecture, ancient ruins, people, city and street scenes, photographs of paintings and statues, and other scenes, and depict primarily Great Britain, Italy, France, Austria, Switzerland, Germany, and Holland.
