A fine assemblage of around 250 signatures of the luminaries of the Victorian and Edwardian age, including a signed portrait of Ernest Shackleton, the signatures of Prime Ministers Arthur Balfour and H. H. Asquith, and the writers George Trevelyan, John Morley, and George Augustus Sala. Most of the signatures are clipped and mounted, alongside their letterhead.

Other letters are addressed to different people and acquired elsewhere. Where dated, the letters range from 1883 to 1916.
