Bartlett of Belgrade, Maine, inside the front cover and inside the back cover are Victorian Trade cards glued to the page, including a calling card for the original owner. Writing on the inside also includes "Materials used for decoration on antique clothes. Started collecting this 1980. Elena Payson, Rockland, ME."
