- Title:
- Henrietta Stuart's scrapbook
- Scope & Content:
- A large volume bound in red leather with the spine embossed "H.M.S.S." for Henrietta Maria Sarah Stuart, and including her bookplate at the front.
This volume contains material collected by Henrietta: mostly transcriptions of anecdotes and some poems and letters, along with postcards, prints and pictures cut from books and newspapers and pasted into the volume. Some pages are decorated with hand-drawn borders and many of the images seem to have been drawn or painted by Henrietta herself.
The contents include a section of lace labelled as belonging to James II, and a catalogue of pictures, possibly those in Henrietta's home.
The volume originally came in a purpose-made wooden case with a lock and covered in green leather. Several loose prints and a painting were included in this box and have been catalogued separately, together with a few items which were loose within the volume at Add MS 89723/2.
