That is a better picture than the usual old album.
Clearly an 1873 Winchester rifle (as in not a carbine.)
It has an octagonal barrel which was an extra cost option ($.95) but was so popular that there are probably more octagon than round except for carbines.
The magazine tube looks small, I think it is a .32-20.

Price, $12.50 in 1901.
But this one has a lot of finish wear and was not a new rifle in 1901.
