A probably unique typed and manuscript manual, illustrated with six mounted photos of Thompson playing the banjo, with close up hand position details. All of the music is notated in meticulous manuscript, with red ink highlights and notations. We have dated the manual by the fact that S. A. Thompson's Mandolin Orchestra is pictured in a Gibson instrument catalogue of 1917.
