- Acquisition notes
- Most of the drawings in this album were purchased by the 2nd Baron Northwick at a sale of Joseph West's drawings at Christie's 6-7 June 1834. They were placed in the album after the sale and it passed by descent through his family until the Northwick Park sale in 1965 when it was purchased by the late Edward Croft-Murray. It was consigned by his widow to Christie's South Kensington sale, 9.vii.2009, lot 633 but not sold and then presented to the BM by Mrs Croft-Murray in memory of her late husband.
