Samuel John Sterrett autograph album

Manuscripts

This autograph album contains autographs, caricatures, cartoons, musical scores, pencil drawings, pen and ink drawings, poems, and watercolors; a few of the autographs are in Japanese. It appears, from the varying page sizes, this album is made up of several different albums collected over many decades, possibly by multiple members of the Sterrett family; also, each section contains overlapping spans of dates. For conservation purposes the pages have been removed from the damaged leather cover and placed into envelopes.
