For displays as added attractions at the Roval Amateur Art Society’s exhibition in London, the King lent Queen Victoria’s marriage certificate and the pen she used to sign the Coronation oath. The Queen lent specimens from her collection of etuis, a workbox filled with ivory fittings, and a lock of Queen Charlotte’s hair. Among other exhibits of historic interest were the inkstand used by Queen Victoria when travelling, the table at which Napoleon signed his abdication, and Byron's despatch box.
