Susan Townsend (Townshend) married Brian Houghton Hodgson in 1869. Susan's mother had been an old school friend of Brian Houghton Hodgson's first wife, Anne, and Hodgson met Susan when visiting her mother. Though she was only 25 years old and he was in his 60s they seem to have had a happy marriage. She compiled this autograph book to show off the many achievements of her husband. Susan Hodgson was a photographer and exhibited at the (Royal) Photographic Society annual exhibitions.
