A leather & cloth-bound album, with gilt embossed black leather label with the initials 'G.K.N.' [Newbury?] embossed, affixed to the front cover. The album contains 35 fine watercolours, one affixed to each page and many with annotations in pencil below.

Subjects noted include 'Eagle Crag from Borrowdale', 'Loch Leven', 'Bijapur', 'Palace of the Seven Stories, Bijapure', 'Falls on the Kaveri, Mysore', 'Water Palace, Mandu', 'Mount Sinai, Convent of St. Catherine from above', 'Mount Horeb, Aaron's Tomb', with the last image being 'Heathfield Park', which around the time that these images were painted, circa 1850s, was the home of Francis Newbury and his family.
