The collection consists of 29 photographs of and related to novelist Wilkie Collins

was
removed from a copy of Collins' book, The Evil Genius: A Domestic
Stories, from the library of Robert Lee Wolff, that is located in the Ransom
Center library (call no. WOLFF 1350). Further descriptions of some items may be available
