They had five daughters and a son, and from several references to Mary in the text this album was a gift for her fourth child, born in 1847. The Victoria and Albert Museum contains a very similar album by Lady Strange bound in red velvet so she presumably produced one for each of the Thomas daughters. The colophon states that Lady Strange was 68 when she illustrated the present album, and 70 for the V & A example. Louise herself died in 1911 aged 101.
