- Title:
- 'News Cuttings' scrapbook recording the early career of Ralph Richardson
- Scope & Content:
-
A scrapbook with a red leather cover embossed with a design showing a pile of newspapers and entitled News Cuttings, containing press cuttings, programmes and photographs recording the early career of Ralph Richardson. This volume may have been compiled by Lydia Richardson, Ralph's mother, as it contains photographs of Ralph as an infant, and early examples of his writing and drawing. It also contains photographs and cuttings recording the careers of Ralph's wives, Muriel Hewitt and Meriel Forbes.
The scrapbook starts with letters and homemade single-sheet newspapers reporting local news handwritten by Ralph. These are followed by a series of early photographs depicting Ralph as an infant and child alongside examples of Lydia's drawings of Ralph, and some of Ralph's own drawings.
The volume then contains a variety of cuttings relating to professional productions starring Ralph and his wives from 1921 to 1948.
Additional loose cuttings originally found within the volume are catalogued as Add MS 89510/16/2.
