*An inserted note reads ' This beautiful Victorian album was found at the bottom of a teachest wrapped in newspaper in the attic.... when we moved in, in June 1975. It was illustrated in watercolours and written by the grandfather of the previous owner, Mrs Spencer-Hogg (nee Hulton) in 1878'

Condition report: Spine ends a little bumped; contents with just light toning and a minor handling marks, but all looks fresh and colourful. Possibly just a little sombre in character.
