The albums contain photographs and sketches pasted on their leaves, with captions in Strutt's handwriting pasted below many of the items. Inside the front cover of DL PXX 3 are three oval windows with tooled leather borders, in which are inset miniatures painted from the photographs and portrait sketch at ff.2a-c. A monogram of the subject is embossed near each miniature.

The albums contain Strutt's sketches and watercolours of the expedition and related photographs collected or commissioned by him. These include the only surviving photographs of the expedition departing, showing Burke making his farewell speech in Royal Park (DL PXX 3 f.8b & f.9), and of the expedition en route (DL PXX 3 f.6b);  also photographic portraits of Burke, Wills, and King, and of Howitt, the leader of the rescue party. Strutt's sketches include portraits of Burke, Brahe, Howitt, and the expedition's camel drivers;  studies of clothing, equipment, and camels;  and details of Burke's burial based on the rescue party's description. Many of these studies were used in later works such as the watercolour `The start of the Burke and Wills exploring expedition from Royal Park, Melbourne, August 20, 1860' (1861;  ML 373), and the oils `Portrait of Robert O'Hara Burke' (1862) and `The burial of Burke' (1911). The albums also contain photographs of reenactments of Burke's burial. A three-page manuscript account by Strutt of his encounter with Burke, Wills and Becker in the exploring party in Melbourne and of his painting activities is at DL PXX 3 ff.23a-c.
Detailed contents lists are available.
