Frank Baum and many more, also letters, an autograph quote from The Battle Hymn of the Republic signed by author Julia Ward Howe, and autographed material from other literary and arts notables. World Leaders include monarchs with a remarkable early autograph letter from the future British Monarch, King Edward VII.
