The brownish folders that the four pictures shown above are enclosed are 9 inches wide by 6 inches tall when opened up to display the photo. When closed they are 3 inches wide by 6 inches tall. The pictures are slightly smaller to fit the display area of the folders.

The remaining picture has not been identified and is about 3-3/4ths inches wide by 6 inches tall when opened and is 2 inches wide by 6 inches tall. The folder is a dark greenish color.

All of the folders have “Denison’s Studio Tyler Texas” stamped on them. On page 154 on the 1915 Alcalde, is an ad for Denison’s Studio. Transcription of the ad:

This Is Not Much of an Ad,
But the Funny Thing about It,
It Actually Means Something“
