This guy looks exactly like a policeman from a comedy. I can just imagine him running away from the pirates of penzance.
There were a couple of prints in the album. This one looks earlier than the photos. Maybe 1850's?
Here's a picture of opera singer Parepa Rosa, and it's one I can't find anywhere else on the internet. It's strange to find a purchased picture of a celebrity tucked into a family photo album, isn't it?

That's all I have to post at the moment. I am sewing things, I've just been really lazy about blogging them.
Mira, try googling Parepa Rosa Images and I'm sure you will find some. It's possible that other photos will also be there but give it a try.
