The photograph, dating back to the early 19th century, around 1810, presents an assortment of hands and feet, some adorned with sandals. The title "Albion Pres" is believed to be a reference to Albion, the ancient name for England, suggesting a possible British origin for the collection of feet and hands. The image showcases the human anatomy in its raw and natural form, providing an insight into the everyday life and health concerns of the people during that era. The hands, with their intricate fingerprints and veins, reveal the dexterity and strength of the human hand, while the feet, some bearing the marks of sandals and others displaying the natural contours, highlight the complexity of the human foot and its role in locomotion.

The medical community of that era would have used such images for educational purposes, studying the various conditions and ailments that affected the hands and feet. The inclusion of sandals in the image adds an interesting layer to the photograph, as it suggests that the people depicted in the print may have come from a warmer climate or a more affluent background, as sandals were considered a luxury item during that time. Overall, "Hands & Feet / Albion Pres" is a fascinating and enlightening piece of historical and medical documentation, offering a glimpse into the past while also highlighting the timeless beauty and complexity of the human body.
