Description: Autograph album formerly belonging to Adeline Talitha Stamper comprising several autographs contributed by her acquaintances in the early twentieth century from 1900 to 1919. The album includes inscriptions from people located in Christchurch, Dannevirke, Palmerston North, and other locations throughout New Zealand. Many contributors have listed hospitals alongside their names, and were therefore likely colleagues of Stamper, who worked as a nurse. The album also includes an inscription and autograph by Kate Sheppard, leader of the New Zealand Suffrage movement, dated 1901. Inscription is an excerpt from the poem 'Life!' by English poet Anna Laetitia Barbauld. There are also contributions from Wilhelmina (Wilma) Sheppard (née Sievwright), a close friend of Stamper, and Meta Sievwright, both of whom were also involved in the Suffrage movement. The autograph album also includes a small newspaper clipping; a pasted-in verse from a poem; passages from the Bible; four small watercolours, three of which show scenes at Sumner Beach, Christchurch, and one which depicts a ship; and poems by George Eliot and Adelaide Anne Proctor, all inscribed or contributed by Stamper's acquaintances.

Physical Description: Holograph autograph book bound in red leather with gilded trim and stamp on cover, with coloured paper featuring floral motifs, 20.5 x 16.9 cm.
