I bought these 2 albums together a few years ago and was told that they are from the same family who lived in the west country, probably Exeter area.The scrap album probably belonged to the mother seen in the photos.The scrap album starts in late victorian times and goes up to the first world war.The album is full of childish scrap and card cartoon figures, animals (cats were loved by this family), flowers christmas and cards, war, fashion etc.The spine of the album has wear but the pa...ges and scraps are good for their age.The album measures 9 x 11.5in and has 32 sides which are all filled.
The photo album belonged to the daughter, called Margarita Hind...The first photos are dated 29th June 1926 and entries are made until 1931.She was from a very affluent family and the camera was probably her own.Photos include visits to so many places as they had a car....Exmouth, Lynton/Lynmouth, Teignmouth, Torquay, Plymouth Hoe, Lyford, Doone Valley, Weston Super Mare, Wells, Clovelly, Southhampton, Dartington, Berry Pomeroy, Bath, Padstow, Newquay, plus loads more. Lots of photos of famous landmarks...even a photo of the Cutty Sark in Falmouth.There are old cars and the fashions change a little.Some photos show landmarks before the Blitz..eg Plymouth.The album shows a passage of time in a young girls life..They are shown with different cats and different toys. Just a very few photos are missing.The album is good for its age.It measures 9.5 x 7.5in and has 48 sides which are almost full.
Lovely items.
