Drawings and journals chiefly of John Harden, a landowner from Tipperary and an accomplished amateur water-colourist, and of his wife Jessy, the daughter of Robert Allan, the Edinburgh banker, and an assiduous diarist.
Jessy Harden's journal, essentially a series of family newsletters, was sent in instalments to her sister, Agnes Ranken, in India. Many of her husband's drawings were used to illustrate it. Journals and sketches alike survived because Agnes Ranken preserved them and eventually brought them back to Great Britain.
