Scope and content
The scrap-book contains broadsides pertaining to the theatre and one of a scurrilous nature; press clippings of poetry, anecdotes, cartoon and news events of the day such as the death of George III in 1820 and Napoleon in 1840; coats of arms and manuscript lists of jurymen for the county of Norfolk (UK). The name Hambleton Custance (High Sheriff for Norfolk) appears on some of the press clippings and he may have been the compiler of the scrap-book.
