Album of etchings, drawings, and lithographs by Edward Backhouse and others, 1819-1856 Box Vol. 1

The album includes etchings and lithographs by Edward Backhouse, together with work by other family members, presented "to his dear nephew, Edward Backhouse Mounsey, 1855." This was the year in which he married Katherine Mounsey, and having no children of their own, probably saw young Edward as the son he never had.
