Inscriptions:

Brief handwritten captions in English, including dates, accompany each print.

In pencil a consecutive numbering system (1–48) is written alongside each image, usually near the lower right corner of the image.

An alternative image sequence (a–b only, sequence repeats on each page) is indicated in pencil near the upper left corner of each image.

Pagination – since crossed out – is indicated in the upper right or left corner of each page.

Labels:

A gold, stamped design appears in the lower right corner of the front cover of the album with a sun-like symbol and the words ‘PHOTO: GRAPHS’

In the lower left corner of the inside back cover a black ink stamp reads: ‘PHOTO DPT HARRODS LTD.’
