Photograph album of images documenting cities in the Gulf Coast region of the United States, circa 1878-1879. Images primarily depict locations in New Orleans, Louisiana, as well as Mobile, Alabama, and the Florida communities of Pensacola, Millview, and Bluff Springs
Images of New Orleans include a view of Jackson Square and surrounding buildings and a view of Canal Street at the intersection with St. Charles Street, probably during Mardi Gras. Images of the New Orleans waterfront include a wharf and levee with bales of cotton and steamboats and a view of the steamboat Natchez. Discrete interior views show memorial catafalques for King Victor Emmanuel II of Italy and for Pope Pius IX in January and February 1878 in the St. Louis Cathedral located at Jackson Square, New Orleans, Louisiana
Images of Mobile, Alabama, include a view of Dauphin Street, as well as views of several buildings consisting of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Hall, the wholesale grocery store of Abraham Moog and Bernard Moog, and a residence. A view of Bienville Square shows African American men and white men, women, and children on an adjacent street; an inscription in the negative identifies the photographer as J. S. McClure, a photographer living in New Orleans. A view of Magnolia Cemetery shows a Confederate Rest monument
Images of Pensacola, Florida, include a view of the city, a view of the Yniestra Building on Palafox Street, and a view of sailing ships at wharves in Pensacola Bay. Images of structures include views of a school and residence, as well as the Christ Episcopal Church and a Presbyterian church
Images in the vicinity of Millview, Florida, include a view of a mill of the Perdido Bay Lumber Company and views along the Escambia River that include a pier and residences at Bluff Springs
