This is an album of watercolors, sketches, and prints by amateur artists. It mixes drawings with handwritten poems and letters. The artists were related to each other. The album belonged to Elizabeth, Countess of Sutherland. It includes work by her friend Henry William Bunbury and her nieces. One poem honors Elizabeth Howard, the 5th Duchess of Rutland. Folks who like old albums full of art and words should check out the Victoria and Albert Museum.
