The cover of what is probably an Edwardian era album according to the text inside the cover. The stamps are said to be in full colour while the album measure 4½ by 5¼ inches.

Moving on a few years for a 1912 album. The cover illustration, reworked, reappears in the 1950s.

Three albums of WWI vintage - one of them said to be dated 1916, and all three of a similar style. The colours do seem rather lively and unusual. These match a pair in the collection from 1911 and 1912.

 These two examples were said to be 1925-26 and 1926-27 examples. They do seem to be distinct from the 191X and the 193X albums.

This cover picture (below) may have been used on a different year to the 1934-35 example in the collection; it has different inside page designs and labels, and different stamps. While it may be possible to work out the years involved, from the arrangement of the Sundays within the album, it would only be possible if they were adjacent to each other. There is no evidence that this is the case, and it may simply throw up a number of possibilities.

This other album has the same cover but different pages, as evidenced by where the floating date of Easter would appear in the Church Year; the stamps are also a different set. This suggests the possibility or probability that the same cover design was repeated but stamps were updated each year.

Some other examples stated to be from the 1920s, and coming from the same source they are probably from neighboring years collected by a single individual. The similarity of the first one to the album above has been noted; dates supplied on auction web-sites are often estimates due to lack of full data. Unfortunately there are no stamp images available.

This poorly photographed example below seems to be a Church Art Stamp album and is said to be from 1912. And further below are examples probably from the 1950s using the same cover art from the 1957 collection item, but in a new format

             1912

On the left 1961 and later perhaps. One album retains the usual page proportions and probably size also. The other takes on new proportions, again possibly at a later date

This album cover below seems to match the late 1950s - early 1960s Home Words albums, though only an image of the cover was found and there was no date mentioned or suggested.
