Scope and content

Bound photograph album containing 35 photographs of staff of the Manchester Guardian at the time of the paper's centenary in 1921. It is likely that the photographs, which were taken onto 4.5 x 6.5" glass negative plates, are by the paper's first staff photographer, Walter Doughty. Most photographs are displayed in the album with a list of those depicted, although there are some omissions.
