Autograph book 1878

[Mary_M]

I picked up a sweet autograph book last year with 40 pages of handwriting. I didn’t realize until I got it home that there’s even a small hair wreath on one of the pages. Here is a lovely page.

(Sorry it’s sideways...I had it saved horizontally but it flipped when I posted it)

When you click on it it flips, so no problems. It’s wonderful! I’d love to see more pages if you can.

I’m very interested in old penmanship, and the use of script as decorative art in the 19th-century.

Here’s another.

One more

I wish my pics were better. I used my iPad. Meh.

That last one looks a bit like my penmanship with dip pens.

Thanks!

What a nice find, and in such good condition for its age 

Thank you for sharing this little treasure.
