There is also a wedding souvenir supplement celebrating their union, with pictures of Mary's dress and bouquet. A series of posed portraits shows Mary and Charles on the steps of Wallington, with images of the North Street address in London appearing near the end of the album and dated August 1904. Interior shots of Wallington are on the back pages.
