Footnotes
Two albums, compiled by Margaret Campbell, each volume opening with a fine decorative watercolour with her name, one of which depicts a Greek temple by R.H. Hamilton (1802-1855, a regular exhibitor at the Society of Painters in Watercolour). Campbell was evidently close to Miles Joseph Berkeley (1803-1889), so-called "Father of British mycology", who was born in Northamptonshire, and a relation by marriage to the watercolourist Paul Sandby Munn (1773-1845), who has contributed several fine wash drawings. Berkeley provides one good botanical watercolour of a lily (May 1830), and there are two good views of Margate New Church (by R.H. Essex, 1830) where he was appointed curate in 1830, and a view of King's Cliffe in Northampton where he moved afterwards. Other Berkeley family contributions are made by Emeric (a view of tombs in India), and "Miss Berkeley" (an illustrated account of " A domestic scene during the Great Rebellion of cabs"), and botanical studies signed "S.I.B.". Other images include three signed by P.S. Munn (a view of Valle Crucis in North Wales; woodland view; "Goldsmith's Traveller"), views of Catalan Bay in Gibraltar, Steinberg on the Rhine, Fairlop Oak in Essex, Lake Como, Dieppe, Ludlow, "Arab tombs", Marston Court, ?Kent (by R.H. Essex, 1827), and a charming series of portraits of children drawing, one captioned "Paul drawing in a cupboard".
