Antique Leeds History Scrapbook / Ephemera Album

Circa 1907–1924

A fascinating and substantial early 20th-century scrapbook containing original newspaper clippings and photographic illustrations documenting Old Leeds, its streets, landmarks, civic life, and artistic culture.

The album includes:

Edwardian and early interwar Leeds newspaper cuttings

Illustrated features titled “Pictures of Old Leeds” and “Old Leeds Landmarks”

Coverage of Post Office / G.P.O. Art Club exhibitions

Named Leeds artist John H. Scott, with exhibition references

Period photographs of streets, buildings, trades, and daily life

Original contemporary assembly, not a later compilation

The album appears to have been compiled at the time, likely by a local resident with a strong interest in Leeds history and the arts, resulting in a cohesive and evocative visual record of the city during the Edwardian and early interwar years.

Condition:

Worn and fragile in places, with age-related wear to the binding and pages, commensurate with age. This wear is consistent with genuine use and enhances its authenticity as a working historical archive. Please see photographs for overall condition.

A scarce and atmospheric piece of Leeds social and visual history, ideal for collectors of local history, ephemera, genealogy, or British art history.

Size of album approx. 27 cm x 32 cm x 3 cm
