Notes
Interesting snapshot of the 'Great and the Good' at the turn of the century. Only the second time have never handled another example of this rather curious selection. There are some rather good shots of Bromley Hill Place and the remainder are nearly all portraits, the one outstanding feature being that they are nearly all J.Ps. A rare item.
