Scope and content
1/130: Two sketches of Page (full-length and head-and-shoulders), with two other head-and-shoulder portraits of unidentified men.
1/131: A label for 'Manikin' Havana cigars, with an undated note on the back by Trevelyan explaining that Beerbohm had drawn the sketches of Page, annotator and commentator on Horace's "Odes", to correct an erroneous impression of his that Page had been a short plump man. Page had been a master at Beerbohm's school Charterhouse.
