File Petrie MSS 6.1 - Petrie 'Scraps' photograph album

Album containing photographs.

This album and a photograph album (Petrie MSS 6.1) are referred to as "belonging to Lady Petrie", but there is no documentation on file that confirms this attribution.

Album, 24 x 30 cm, “SCRAPS” impressed on the cover, 52 pages, most photographs glued onto the page (using stamp-papers) or mount-slots cut into the page. Most of the photographs are commercial picture cards of locations in the United Kingdom, typically measuring 6.5 by 10.5 cm, many with printed captions, as well as Petrie's annotations. These were presumably purchased by Petrie when travelling around the country. The majority of the photographs are commercial images. Most of the photographs are listed in the order they are presented in the album.
