The edges of the pages are gold gilt which has retained its brightness. Album has two decorative gold colored plates on front cover that originally attached to clasps, which are no longer present. One plate on reverse is missing as well.

This is a great album for a collector of Civil War era civilian images. There are a few post-war images as well. [sm]
