Roe Family/Corporate Photo Album
Unpublished, UK,
Leatherette, Very Good, No Jacket
Unpaginated, but 19, each containing b+w photos from the late 19th Century through to about the 1950s. - Bound in one of those leatherette-covered "magnetic" photo albums (clear Mylar plastic over cardboard pages coated with a waxy-glue between which photos are sandwiched) that were so popular in the 1970s and 80s. Fortunately this album's glue was of a lesser quality and so the photos that aren't already detached are loose enough that they can easily be removed. The album is a bit of a conundrum. It contains about half and half family photos and corporate photos, 50 in all plus a Tizer's (soft-drink) advert. The Tizer's ad has a WWII theme with a WWII-era soldier being welcomed back and toasted with Tizer's by three of his mates. The oldest photo (sepia-toned) appears to be a school class photo, completely unidentified as to date, location or school, with a teacher and 41 young boys aged about 7-12. They are all looking oh so jolly, er well, maybe not, although one of the older boys actually managed a smile and two of the younger boys nearly manage it. There's also a b+w, undated picture-postcard of The Parish of St Helen's, Witton, also known as 'Northwich Parish Church'. The church is situated in the centre of Northwich, Cheshire, England. Also, and causing the above-mentioned conundrum, is a melange of obviously friends and family snaps, but also many press and PR photos of a corporate and banquet type, and even some travel photos. Men and women in their "Sunday finest", one in which the oldest man looks like he's at a wedding (as the father of the bride perhaps and I'm guessing he's F John Roe) surrounded by three women and two men in less formal attire, a formal photo of a group (including the man I think is F J Roe) of two women and 8 men at a board-room table laid with a coffee service, A press photo of (the man I think is F J Roe) being awarded a painted portrait of himself and many more. The album and contents are in excellent condition.

Victorian Handwritten Manuscript Autograph Album and Scrapbook Containing Dozens of Autographed Prose and Verse Pieces of a Religious Nature, Each on a Separate Page and Most in Beautiful Calligraphy, Signed and Dated by Their Various Authors
Unpublished, UK,
Full-Leather, Very Good -, No Jacket
This Autograph Album and Scrapbook started life as a scrapbook and during the more than a century since its creation, the album itself has become rather tatty with the pages mostly loose, and the album covers (red leather with elaborate gilt decor and titles to front, rear and spine) are in disrepair. But the contents are in mostly very good condition and quite interesting. The album contains dozens of prose and poetry pieces of a religious nature, each on a separate page and most in beautiful calligraphy, signed and dated by their various authors. These authors include: M. Guy Pearse, Joseph Kimber Hill (1867-1952) and David Hill (1840-96) both of York, Wm Caenog Jones of Headingley, James Ellis of Sleaford, George Woodcock of Lincoln, John Dixon of Alford, Richd. E Bray of Horncastle, Thomas Hind, Ebenezer Moulton of Sleaford, Samuel McAulay of Lincoln, William Barrowclough of Boston (UK), Dr Adam Clarke, Wm H Findlay of South India, Josiah S. Harris of the Home Mission Deputation, Ralph Mather Spoor, and very many others. It also contains "Autographs of ministers at the Alford District Meeting, May 1871", "Autographs of preachers at the Alford District Meeting, May, 1887" and other similar pages. Materials date from the 1850s through the 1890s. This is a truly fascinating collection of 19th Century religious writing and autographs of some religious leaders of the day.
