Notes
The album is inscribed at front: "Sarah Annette Jones from her Papa, June 1854." Sarah Annette Jones (born 1836) was the the niece of John Henry Vivian, of Bryn Newydd, on Sketty Green in Swansea. John Henry Vivian was the father of Henry Hussey Vivian, 1st Lord Swansea, to whom several of John Dillwyn Llewellyn's photograph albums were once wrongly attributed.
The album includes photographs of people and places, primarily in Wales. Most of the people depicted are members of the Eden, Vivian, Lindsay, Denman, and Lennox families. Locations depicted include Singleton Abbey, Sketty Hall, and Oystermouth Castle. Also included are Mary Dillwyn's photographs of flowers and birds.
Most photographs are captioned and dated in black ink. Names of sitters and photographers are frequently abbreviated or given with initials only. Photographers include: Mary Dillwyn (M.D.); Caroline Eden (C.E.E.); Augustus Lennox (Capt. Lennox); John Dillwyn Llewelyn (Mr. Llewelyn); Vivian Arthur Webber (V.A.W.); Robert Webber Lindsay (R.W.L.); William Graham Vivian (W.G.V.); and C.H. (unidentified).
There are 78 photographs present in the album. There are captions for an additional 14 photographs no longer present. Photograph nos. 7, 20, and 73 are no longer affixed to the page (removed to separate folder).
