Provenance unclear as the item was found in the donor's parents' attic, and she was not aware of any connection her parents had to NIMR. It is possible that the album was passed down via the donor's maternal grandmother who lived in Harrow (from 1954 until her death in 1986) and had many friends from all over London, though there is no known relation to NIMR.
