The experiences undergone in the respective period of time are rendered by the personal photo album that contains 84 pages and 327 photos, the great majority being accompanied by a short taped description (the album contains also drawings/sketches, newspapers cuts). Among those that appear in the pictures are: King Ferdinand, Queen Mary, Prince Charles, General Berthelot or General Eremia Grigorescu. Costica Acsinte left behind thousands of photo negatives on glass plates, plan-films and numberless photographic prints- many of them to be found in the families whose members were taken into these photos. The majority of the prints are stamped on their back with “Foto Splendid Acsinte”.
