The remnant of a black photo album cover embossed in gold with the title "Mediterranean Trip 1908. It is associated with a series of shipboard photographs from the CARPATHIA as well as from sites in Malta, Italy, and Egypt. We do not know who took the photographs, and most of the names are incomplete. Kodak came out with its portable Brownie box cameras in 1900, and that may be the kind of camera that this traveler carried to capture this once in a lifetime vacation.
