This is a very rare album of famous people entitled Sweet Home Album issued by the Larkin's Soap Company in 1889. This album is very similar to a tobacco album even though it was issued by a soap company. The album shows pictures of famous people world-wide (i.e. Thomas Edison, Alexander Hamilton, Goethe (German poet), John Whittier (American poet), etc.) as they existed in 1889. Also, other pages show a poem, a soap related ad, or other information about the person. The album contains 38 pages.
