Many of the artists have contributed sketches. The musicians in most cases have scribbled bars of their own compositions after their autographs.
For the purpose of illustrating this article I have reproduced a few autographs from this unique collection. To publish them all would need a special edition.
Most if not all of the names will be familiar to the readers of this magazine.
First we give some artists' thumbnails. The most ambitious is the pen drawing of a Cavalier's head, by Mr. Seymour Lucas, R.A.
It is a pity that we are not able to give a larger reproduction of the inimitable pencil drawing of a negro's head by Phil May. It is a wonderful piece of drawing.

Perhaps the cleverest thing in the album is the sketch by that versatile actor-artist, J. Bernard Partridge.
Not less interesting is the sketch of himself by Philip Burne-Jones.
After the artists come the actors and actresses.
