Storia archivistica

E. W. Lane annotated the captions written in pencil on the album's pages. This suggests that Lane arranged for this selection of items to be mounted in the album, which he then presented to someone.
Formerly in possession of Mrs May C. Buckton (died c.1950), who was married to Bishop Buckton, Bishop of Gibraltar or Malta. Mrs Buckton later gifted it to "Kitten and Rosemary", date unknown. This information is taken from two enclosures kept with the album.

Area del contenuto e della struttura

Ambito e contenuto

The album contains 23 original studies, including the photographic portrait of a sculptural bust of Lane, two fully worked drawings with watercolour, eleven monochrome watercolours with pen and ink landscapes and views, and ten pencil studies of wall reliefs. Many of these images include handwritten captions in pencil that are almost certainly added by E. W. Lane himself on the opposing page of the mounted image. This indicates that Lane arranged for this selection of items to be mounted in the album, which was then presented to someone.
