Step into a world of high society and historical events with this rare 1967 scrapbook, formerly belonging to the Mayor and Mayoress of Windsor. This meticulously curated ledger is filled with personal photographs, newspaper clippings, and an array of personal correspondence including letters, telegrams, and Christmas cards from high-ranking officials and military officers. Additionally, it features invitations to royal garden parties and charity events, all capturing the vibrant social life of Windsor’s elite.

The scrapbook offers a captivating glimpse into the personal and public moments of the Deacons, showcasing their involvement in a myriad of activities and their interactions with dignitaries, including notable figures like the Mayor of New York. While the book shows signs of age with several loose pages, its historical value remains intact. The collection is vast, and the images provided here only represent a fraction of its contents.

Uniquely, despite extensive searches, I have found no similar item outside of council halls of records or heritage museums. If you collect scrapbooks, political memorabilia, or items related to royalty—given the entries and images this scrapbook contains—this piece will make an outstanding addition to your collection. The provenance of the scrapbook remains a delightful mystery; it may have been compiled by Mrs. Deacon or presented to the Deacons upon their departure from office. Either way, its wealth of original images marks it as a document of significant social and historical importance.

Measuring 15.25 inches by 10 inches, this scrapbook is not just an artifact; it’s a gateway to the bustling lifestyle and significant events of its era.
