A scrapbook containing autographs, franks and prints compiled, [1831]-[c. 1867], probably by Sarah Dorothy Grey of Norton, Stockton-on-Tees (later Sarah Dorothy Robinson of Silksworth Hall, County Durham, and Quedgeley, Gloucestershire).
Nearly all the autographs are in the form of 'free fronts', mostly dated 1806-1839, being franked address panels signed by Members of Parliament (or Lords) to allow them free postage (ff. 2-110 passim; a number of these are addressed to members of the Grey family of Norton). The prints include engravings depicting Royalty (ff. 1 verso, 4, 16, 34), topographical and architectural views (ff. 4 verso-111 passim) and female fashions of 1830 (ff. 10 recto-verso, 28 recto-verso). Also included are cuttings of a few ballads (ff. 12, 18, 22 verso, 72) and two 'skit notes' (f. 18). Items found loose inside the volume (19 ff.) have been placed in an archival envelope; these include eleven free fronts, 1828-1837, and three invitations (in French) to the Robinson family to attend events at the French Court in Paris, 1867.
