The album has marbled endpapers and the cover is gilt stamped with the word Album. Some age wear and rubbing to the edges of the covers, otherwise about VG The present album features an unusual selection of signatures relating to the League of Nations, but also includes individuals who achieved fame in areas other than politics and diplomacy. It was whilst working for fellow cricketer K. S. Ranjitsinhji at the League of Nations meeting when the present album was signed that C. B. Fry is reported to have been offered the throne of Albania, a position he turned down.
