Albums F1 Vince Family Album Auxiliary Dates: 1952; Donated to the archives by Helen M. Flower, who writes that "The Vince's son died in 1911 and I suspect that the enclosed pictures reflect their feeling for the hospital where he was a patient." However, the album more likely belonged to a doctor, as it contains photographs of doctors and doctors' banquets, 1952.
