Album contains ten items PAI4871-PAI4880. These are very detailed drawings in pencil, apparently related to lithographs made from them. The sheets are 14 1/2 x 20 ins (375 x 528) and the image sizes are approximately 10 1/2 x 16 1/2 ins ( 267 x 410 mm). The fourth drawing (PAI4874) is inscribed, 'Schrantz. Fecit. 1841.' and all bear annotations in pencil in the margins, in two separate hands so far unidentified. If one of them is Schranz's it is likely to be the more prevalent round one. The other, more sloping one, only appears giving descriptions along the bottom of a few sheets, as if adding extra information: it may be a female hand. Each image has a pencilled number, 1-10, at its bottom left corner. The finish of the drawings is unusual, with the silvery sheen of graphite but without any transfer on to the interleaves between them which suggests they may be fixed in some way that is not clear, though they do have a moderate level of foxing. The album bears a printed shelving label inside the front cover showing it was previously in the library of Loxwood House: this may either be one more recently a residential care home near Hove, Sussex, or at the village of that name in north-west Sussex. The family previously associated with the house until about 1912 was called King and Burke's Peerage shows that John King of Loxwood married Mary Curtis, the granddaughter of Admiral Sir Roger Curtis (inter alia Lord Howe's Captain of the Fleet at the Battle of 1 June 1794): her father, Sir Lucius, was also an admiral and her two eldest brothers Roger (b. 1812) and Roger-Lucius (b. 1816) were naval officers too so the album may have come into Loxwood through that connection in the mid to late 19th century. Giuseppe Schranz (1803-66), sometimes called Joseph Schranz, was the fourth and youngest son of Anton Schranz (1769-1839), a German-born marine painter who worked on Minorca, at Naples and from 1817 settled in Malta. His eldest son Giovanni (also called John, 1794-1880) was also a marine painter there; the second Antonio (1801-after 1864) was also a painter and so was Giuseppe, mainly of topographical subjects and latterly working in Constantinople, including as a lithographer/publisher.
