This is a drawing album called *Sutherland Album* made between 1800 and 1825. It’s a mix of watercolors, sketches, and prints with poems and letters pasted in. Such albums were called “commonplace books.” They let people save poems and art they liked all in one place. The album holds works by family and friends, including Lady Cawdor and Henry Bunbury. Look up the artist Harewood next.
