Victorian Scrapbook Autograph Album
Unpublished, UK,
Full-Leather, Good, No Jacket
This autograph book started life as a scrap book and over 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 quite interesting and in mostly good condition. 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 1887", "Autographs of preachers at the Alford District Meeting, May, 1871" and other similar pages. Materials date from the 1850s through the 1890s. Although in disrepair, it's a fascinating collection of 19th Century religious writing and autographs of some religious leaders of the day.
