Not dated but c 1921 (from internal evidence). 56pp booklet with coloured card covers, printed and stapled (covers a little worn at edges and a tad faded and marked, oxidization around staples). Internally neat, clean, fresh and tight. A photographic record of Harrogate Infirmary from its earliest day as a cottage hospital, with some brief account of its history and snapshot details of supporters, accounts, expenditure and services. Together with many contemporary advertisements for local businesses and services. Appears to have been produced as an appeal for donations and funds - the hospital appears to have been in debt and facing a rising demand for its services. Slim 8vo.
