Title: English autograph album, 1800-1830 Author: Place: England Publisher: Date: Early 19th century Description: A massive large folio (18½x14½") autograph album containing a collection of approximately 400 English autograph letters, (some 4 pagers), free franks and clipped signatures of royalty and political figures from the period 1800 through the 1830’s. The autographs are all mounted on the page rectos with the versos remaining blank on 45 leaves. There are an additional 16 pages of old newspaper clippings and approximately 90 blank leaves which run to the end of the album, which may have held a collection of sea weed laid in and not now present The album was apparently assembled some time prior to 1870 as there is a holograph presentation on the front endpaper dated 1870, given to a family member in Weymouth (UK). On the front pastedown remains an old bookseller’s printed entry from 1902 listing some of the more important individuals contained therein, but which now is inaccurate as over time some items have been neatly scissored out. A partial list of those we find intact are Elizabeth I, Charles I, Prince Frederick, 2 Nelson Bronte franks, multiple George III signatures clipped from vellum or paper documents, George IV (?), George Prince Regent, Duke of Cambridge, Selwyne, Robert Peel Sir Charles Napier and a nice full page 1830 letter from Thos. Foley, Admiral of the Blue and Commander in Chief of His Majesties Ships etc. from Portsmouth Harbor to Markland, Captain of the Ship Briton concerning procedures henceforth.. An abbreviated list of names found includes Egleston, Glastonberry, Winton, Carrington, Rochford, Cardigan, Shaftsbury, Dinsmore, Egremont, Landerdale, Lincoln, Portman, Seymour, Howard, Yarmouth, Eastlake, Baillie, Brougham, Hardinge, Russell, Borthwick, Grey, Mackinnon, Holland, Mackintosh, Kerr, Castlereagh, etc. including countless more that would require the knowledge to decipher the script. Most of the free franks are dated with the Crown postmark. Lot Amendments Condition: The items are all in very good or better, pasted in and in as found condition. Lacking the rear board, with the front board detached and the spine perished. Sold as is. Item number: 267886
