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.
