The card is taken from one of a collection of  hand-decorated and lovingly compiled Victorian family photograph albums held by Edinburgh City Libraries, known as the Moray Albums. They belonged to a family called the the Stirling Home-Drummond Moray’s, an aristocratic, well-connected Scottish landowning family. If you’re interested to find out more about how the Scottish landed gentry lived, take a look at the beautiful 2nd volume which has been made available as an exhibition on Capital Collections.
