This is an album of watercolours and sketches by many hands. It holds poems and letters too, like a scrapbook for memories. People saved things they loved—poems, drawings, bits of writing. The album has work by amateur artists who were family or friends. One page marks the death of the Duchess of Rutland with a poem. Lady Cawdor drew in it too. Look up the artist Bunbury next.
