The drawing is signed (J?) Markham, dated March 14th 1833. The second leaf has a drawing showing the Ponte and the Castle St. Angelo, also signed ; ''(I ?) Markham, March 18th 1833. Both drawings show a skilled hand. The third leaf depicts the Ponte Seraglia ( Ponte a Serraglio) at Bagni di Lucca. The drawing is signed by Elisa Maria Wood (probably Elisa Maria Stisted Wood ; 1810 -Florence August 15th 1855). The next leaf is a watercolour of a young man on a donkey with a wife and child on foot. (unsigned). (5) Watercolour , Italian, view of fortification. (6) Small stone bridge, signed E.

The last page (the first and only one used from the opposite side) contains a text from the Countess of Blessington ; '' Lines written on the portrait of the Hon. Mrs George (unreadable) by the Countess of Blessington''. Interesting album containing some high quality drawings .
