- Acquisition notes
- The album probably belonged to Miss Charlotte Ayscombe and passed through her descendants to Major O. J. De Salis who consigned it to Christie's in 1982. At that point, 8 drawings by Alexander and John Robert Cozens were removed from the album and sold separately (lots 5-9); the album, lot 10, was purchased by Christopher Lennox-Boyd who removed 61 etchings by Waterloo before consigned it for sale in 1991 when it was bought it, and again in 2008 when it was purchased by Alec Stirling (BM was underbidder). Six drawings were removed before it was purchased from him by BM.
