  <dc:title>Photograph album</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Carte de visites album with apertures for four 2.5' x 4' photographs per page.  Many of the spaces are empty and most are unlabelled.   Some have been labelled in pencil, but this appears to have been at a later date.

Labels include Pope Pius IX, Bishop Grant [photograph missing], Norfolk? [Possibly Henry Fitzalan-Howard, 15th Duke of Norfolk]; Cure of Ars [Jean-Baptiste-Marie Vianney, Curé d'Ars]; [?] Church, Weybridge?; Canon Roe [photograph missing]; Lyon; Tournely ?; Leo XIII; Canon Mc Grath &amp; Fr. Van Doorne [Fr. Hendrick Van Doorne was a Flemish priest at Camberwell]; Cardinal Bourne [missing]; Fr. Boase. Jan 16 1887 [missing]

On the first page is a photograph of Mrs Catherine McGrath, probably McGrath's mother.  Loosely inserted is a prayer card which has the same photo.  Mrs McGrath died 14th October 1875.

There are quite a few photographs of nuns in the album.  The Sisters Of The Holy Infant Jesus had set up a convent school in Camberwell.  In 1898 McGrath invited them to move with him to Weybridge.
 
Subjects of loose photographs include a priest taken by H H Baily of Hobart Town, Tasmania, labelled on the reverse 'An affectionate memento of the Philosophy Year to Rev. J McGrath of Deloraine, Tasmania, August 1874'; montage of mini photographs of Waterloo.

Also includes a bill sent to McGrath for goods bought from John Marshall &amp; Co, 42 Paternoster Row, London, 1890.</dc:description>
