Synopsis

The Keepsake by Miss Power is a mid-19th-century English literary annual published in 1854 in London. It gathers a wide range of prose, verse, and short tales by a roster of notable authors of the era, including poets and novelists who contributed to the fashion for illustrated annuals. The volume features pieces in a variety of genres—romantic ballads, fairy-tables, moral reflections, translations and sketches—alongside engravings and plates by leading artists of the day, many produced under the supervision of Frederick A. Heath. The anthology is a snapshot of Victorian tastes: sentimental and moral at times, witty and urbane at others, and distinctly designed for leisurely reading in the parlor. It offers a panorama of 19th-century literary culture, with London publishing connections and transatlantic distribution, and remains a notable example of the flourishing English annual tradition.
