A volume of etchings by three daughters of art collector John Ingram 1767-1841) of Staindrop Hall in County Durham: Elizabeth Christian Ingram (born 1795), Caroline Ingram (1800-1819), and Augusta Isabella Ingram (born 1802). The family lived in Venice and took instruction from Venetian etcher Francesco Novelli whose own etchings were in manner of Rembrandt and whose influence can be seen in the sisters' etchings. The style of the various impressions is very similar and were apparently made within a fairly short period if the dated prints are an accurate indication; some of the prints bound in first are dated February 1816 and then March 1816. This dating seems to be confirmed by a contemporary inscription on the front free endpaper: "These are the works of the Miss Ingrams' from their first lesson, 18..." Only five of the prints are unsigned; several prints in multiple impressions or two or more states, using brown and black inks and various stocks of paper, a few bearing a British watermark and date of 1814. Some of the prints have been mounted, but most have been printed directly on contiguous leaves forming the signatures of the volume

Manuscript journal, by a woman, of travel with her husband George from Venice to Rome in the autumn and winter of 1828-29. Topics include sightseeing, excursions to Roman ruins and the Borghese Gardens; social events, including meetings with Sir Humphry Davy, Chateaubriand, and the Neapolitan ambassador; and visits to the opera, the theater, and Mrs. Glasgow's "tableaux." and The author is particularly interested in art and describes visits to several studios, including those of Vincenzo Camuccini, Giovanni Battista Cipriani, Bertel Thorwaldsen, John Gibson, and Richard James Wyatt. She offers critiques of the works she was shown, noting that she did not consider Thorwaldsen's statues for the monument of Pius VII "well-executed" and that she disliked Gibson's "method of staining the marble as Canova used to do with iron rust....we thought it no improvement." She mentions purchases of several prints from Cipriani as well as shopping expeditions for marbles and mosaic pieces

Tebbs describes a visit to the Vatican Library and the manuscripts and incunabula shown to him by the librarians, including fragments of early Greek Gospel texts and a large "Hebrew Bible presented by the Duke of Urbino." Tebbs and his unnamed companions then journey to Florence, where they see the major sites by engaging a guide to "drive about the whole day," and then proceed to Bologna for two days, visiting the University and its library. The diary ends with their arrival in Piacenza
