The album contains 89 photographs of the Vivian and Dillwyn Llewelyn families and their homes in the Swansea area. Most photographs are acknowledged to be the work of John Dillwyn Llewelyn and Thereza Mary Dillwyn Llewelyn. The subject matter concentrates very much on the houses of their social circle and their immediate localities, notably Penlle'r-gaer, Margam and Singleton. This album bears the inscription "J. Traherne Moggridge from his mother, Jany 1st 1858", the mother in question being Fanny, sister of John Dillwyn Llewelyn, who married Matthew Moggeridge of Woodfield, Monmouthshire. The National Library of Wales purchased this item from R. O. Dougan.
