There is also a photograph album depicting family including Sir Horace Jones, portrait of Annie Horatia Jones in outfit for City of London Mansion House Juvenile Dress Ball, and family at home in Devonshire Place; her correspondence with aunts, housekeeper and friends concerning holidays, her pursuits and interests (1883-1890), a scrapbook of coloured pictures and also a pencil drawing of Tamazine Billings as a girl (circa 1831).

The clothing on the dolls is also useful for looking at costume and dress during the late nineteenth century.
