Synopsis

The Parlour Scrap Book by Elizabeth Fries Ellet is a 1837 collection of poetry and engravings edited by Elizabeth Fries Ellet. It features fourteen engravings with poetical illustrations and a prefatory note about the collaboration of distinguished female writers. This volume blends Oriental splendor with Occidental beauty, offering a series of verse pieces—including The Sisters, Version of a Love-Song, Medora, The Dwellers in the Monument, Mausoleum of Azoph ud Dowlah, The Moorpunkee, The Rural Tomb, and others—paired with engravings and decorative typography. Published in Philadelphia by Carey, Lea, and Blanchard, the work showcases romantic and moral themes, exploring love, memory, farewell, devotion, and cultural encounters between East and West. This book represents an early American contribution to the Romantic-era travel and literary-arts tradition.
