At least I know not how to set about it. Ah charming girl said Charles, that kind confession bespeaks a stock of love in your possession, Love is not science, by not art is shown, But the most sweet confession ever known."

Contact seller2-star sellerVictorian friendship album and travel scrapbook belonging to Emilie Sophia Dudding (1843?) of Lincoln, England, signed and dated in her hand 1 August 1860 on the opening leaf. Measuring 7" x 9.5", the volume contains approximately 95 double-sided pages, all present, forming a vivid, tactile record of a young woman's friendships…and Continental movements during the early 1860s. Dudding was the youngest daughter of John and Susanna Dudding; John is described as a "Solicitor late of Lincoln" in Emilie's 1869 marriage notice. Orphaned in her mid-teens, Emilie appears to have spent significant time abroad (and possibly in Ireland), perhaps with a relative or her older sister Julia, whose name appears repeatedly in the book. She later married Edward William Evans, "Captain of the 19th Regiment," in 1869, and had two children, Julia Sophia and Edward. The album begins as a traditional autograph/friendship book and evolves into a richly embellished travel scrapbook. Early inscriptions are tied to British place names; from 186264 they shift to German and Austrian datelines and names (often still in English), and by 1865 entries are datelined Montreux, Switzerland. The contents also include souvenirs tied to the Dublin International Exposition (1865), suggesting attendance at major cultural fairs and resorts of the period. There are beautiful colored lithographic scraps, many with hand-color, featuring alpine scenery, florals, and decorative motifs. Numerous pressed flowers and plant specimens, arranged both singly and in clusters on colored sheets, often framed with lace-paper doilies. Three original drawings, including a pencil alpine/architectural church scene and additional landscape work. Creative layouts incorporating postage stamps and faux-correspondence designs, including at least one U.S. stamp. 24 albumen photographs (some commercial, most personal photographs; about half miniature). Subjects include two studio images of Tyrolean Shooters / native costume groups, a choir at the English church in Montreux, family or resort-tourist groupings, and scenic keepsakes from the Alps and beyond. A lively and unusually coherent example of a mid-Victorian woman's coming-of-age through travel, knitting together friendship, tourism, and the era's scrapbook artistry. Original black embossed cloth with gilt central ornament; blue/gilt spine label. Both covers detached; binding shaken with heavy edge/corner wear, rubbing, and scuffing; spine ends frayed. Internally a mix of colored papers (green/blue/yellow) with expected light toning and occasional faint staining. A few pressed plant specimens are loose, else all items present and pages intact. Despite exterior wear, the interior presentation is strong and complete.

Large album, 30 x 24cm. Approximately 220 pages, 40 unused, with a quantity of additional tipped-in and loosely inserted pamphlets and ephemera. Featuring most prominently are Rosalind Howard, The Radical Countess of Carlisle, and her husband, George Howard. The former in terms of her speeches and appearances in campaigning for…women's suffrage, temperance and the Liberal Party, the latter with his artistic contributions, his own & others, and occasional speeches. Original art comprises approximately 60 varied watercolours, pen & ink and pencil sketches. With two signed early works by George Howard dated 1856 and 1861, the first in pencil, the second a finished pen & ink drawing with verse. The young George already showing the pre-Raphaelite influence upon his work in terms of both stye and subject, the 1861 drawing in particular is reminiscent of Dante Gabriel Rossetti. Lady Cecilia Howard appears frequently, as does her husband, Charles Henry Roberts, the Radical Liberal M.P., who worked closely with Rosalind. Charles Howard, Viscount Morpeth makes more cameo appearances, and a younger daughter of the extensive family, Lady Dorothy Howard is an increasing presence towards the rear of the album, including some cuttings regarding a trip to Boston with her father to further the Temperance Movement there. The impression given is that the compiler was Rosalind Howard, and that the initial purpose of the scrapbook was to document the political activities of herself and her husband, with possibly later additions and certainly later annotations by many of their children, though given that the content peters out entirely around 1915, it is quite possible that it was a work in gradual progress by Rosalind until her death in 1921. In addition to the two signed George Howard works there is a later large pen and ink drawing annotated: "Bournemouth by Father 1877", with another finished pen and ink hunting scene loosely inserted at the same point, unsigned but almost certainly by George Howard. There are also numerous sketches in pencil, pen or watercolour, at least 10 of which are probably attributable to George Howard. Of the rest, one is a juvenile effort by Dorothy Howard, annotated as much by her mother, Rosalind, another is an accomplished pen & ink drawing dated 1888 and signed by Violet Ogilvy, some look likely to be by Cecilia Howard, particularly those of her husband, Charles Roberts and some are certainly juvenile efforts by various of the Howard children, and one might be by Cecilia's daughter, a very young Rosa Winifred Roberts. 48 pages are devoted to Rosalind Howard, cuttings covering her active engagement with politics, women's suffrage and the temperance movement, beginning in 1889, with many of her speeches, as well as articles about her. Additionally, there are three tipped-in pamphlets: an 8-page Brampton District County Council Election Address dated Feb 9th 1889, which must be one of her earliest official public speeches, a 12-page Address by Lady Carlisle on the occasion of The Inauguration of the Carlisle Women's Liberal Association July 1890, and a 13-page Speech by Lady Carlisle at the Unveiling of a Portrait of Mr Gladstone in the Newcastle Liberal Club, dated Aug 18th 1891 and signed to the upper cover by Cecilia Roberts. Other noteworthy pasted in content includes: 3 bookplates by Robert Anning Bell, a small decorated broadside poem On The Queen's Visit to Castle Howard Aug 28th 1850, a 1915 copy of Mabel Ince's The Soldier's Dream and an always welcome appearance of Punch's Political Lady-Cricketers from May 28, 1892. The album is currently in poor condition, the rear board is detached, the front board nearly so and the spine strip has been lost entirely, the boards are quite stained and battered. The contents are slightly foxed and stained, more so to the early and later pages, 2 pages have been removed and half of another has been torn off. An active, clearly organically compiled, rarely chronological impre.

Contact seller5-star sellerWorld War I military photo album and scrapbook documenting Richard H. Morrison movement from Berkeley, California as an officer candidate from local recommendations and Army appointment papers to field artillery training, overseas service, postwar discharge, and later reserve artillery activity. Morrison's record begins in April… 1917, as the United States entered the war and began building a mass army under the Selective Service Act, signed May 18, 1917, which authorized the federal government to raise forces for wartime service. Berkeley civic, academic, and banking figures appear at the start of the album, including letters from First National Bank of Berkeley, the University of California School of Jurisprudence at Boalt Hall, and the Berkeley Chamber of Commerce recommending Morrison for appointment in the Officers' Reserve Corps. The later paperwork follows him through Camp Lewis, Battery A of the 348th Field Artillery, Officers' Training School, the American Expeditionary Forces, the Saumur Artillery School, service with Battery F of the 108th Field Artillery near Fismes, the Ypres-Lys Offensive, and discharge at the Presidio of San Francisco. 55 page scrapbook album including 27 silver gelatin photos, 5 large maps, and approximately 90 related ephemera, and documents ranging in size from 2" x 3" to large fold out maps roughly 40" in length, with extensive military documents, real photo postcards, news print clippings, brochures, and identification cards. 1917-1926. The album includes signed recommendation letters, special orders transferring Morrison from Co. G, 363rd Infantry to Battery A, 348th Field Artillery, a 1917 Thanksgiving program for Battery A, a printed "Mounted Field Day" program for the 348th Field Artillery, an Army appointment certificate naming Morrison sergeant in Battery A, 348th Field Artillery, and an Officers' Training School certificate from the 91st Division at Camp Lewis dated April 19, 1918. Military scenes include uniformed group portraits, artillerymen gathered behind sandbags, range practice with horse-drawn guns, mounted officers, a survey instrument captioned "watching 'em land," and later reserve officer training at Del Monte and the Presidio of Monterey in the 1920s. French material includes a "28th Division in France" route map, a large printed scene of the 28th Division passing through Coulonges on August 4, 1918, a battlefield artillery scene captioned "Battery 'A' 108 F.A. Firing Midst Enemy Gas Shells, Varennes-en-Argonne, Meuse, October 3, 1918," postcards of Chartres and Douai with Morrison's handwritten travel notes, Paris theater programs for the Bouffes-Parisiens, Folies-Bergère, Apollo, and related performances, and a 1919 typed statement by Morrison declining an Officers' Reserve Corps commission while listing his overseas duty, artillery schooling, front-line work, and promotion to second lieutenant. The 91st Division was organized at Camp Lewis in 1917 with men drawn largely from the western states and later served in the Lorraine, Meuse-Argonne, and Ypres-Lys campaigns, placing Morrison's training record within one of the principal western-state divisions raised for the war. The 108th Field Artillery served with the 28th Division, fought around Fismettes, entered the Meuse-Argonne campaign in September 1918, and was later sent north to support fighting in the Ypres sector, closely matching Morrison's own typed account of his duty near Fismes and during the Ypres-Lys Offensive. Album leaves are very difficult and many are unbound, but photos and mounted items remain clear and legible. Edges show chipping, tears, and scattered staining; Overall in good condition. The album preserves an unusually full paper and visual trail of one California artillery officer's movement from university recommendation culture into wartime Army training, combat service, postwar France, and peacetime reserve artillery life. Signed.
