Album - 1 volume
1889-1914
According to Carl Fuchs, many players kept albums at this time, with soloists and other players signing them after concerts. In addition Simon Speelman has kept some autograph letters in his. In order to make the album more easily accessible, each folio used has been listed as an item below, therefore allowing for more detailed descriptions to be given.
