CEP 370 Hundreds of high quality original photos with numerous panorama photos with some postcards and a few commercial photos. This album appears to be a prototype album for something official. There are a number of photos of the state of repair of buildings so I am estimating that this was put together around the time that Martinique was transformed from a colony into a Department. HNCC
