About This Item
1870. Very good; some wear to binding, a couple scraps loose, occasional offsetting.. A Victorian scrapbook with fine examples of early (i.e. 1830s and 1840s) scraps, with a range of others that can be dated as late as 1877. Larger lithographic prints have been repurposed as pastedowns, and several other large prints (mostly lithographed, some engraved) have been pasted throughout. Of more interest are the dozens of early lithographed scraps that have been carefully cut from the original whole sheets: small hand-colored butterflies and moths flit throughout the pages, alongside clusters of botanical lithographs of berries and flowers. One page features twelve small square lithographs which depict an eclectic mix of scenes, including a saddle-fitter at work and a dog rescuing a man buried in snow. Horses and equestrian-themed lithographs appear to be a favorite. Almost all are hand-colored.
Folio (12" by 9"), approx. 100 unnumbered leaves. 18 with content, plus a few additional scraps tucked in. Half calf and navy cloth boards, spine gilt in compartments.
