Autograph Book of Young Lady in Barcelona from 1948-1950

(120 x 160 mm) [78 unnumbered pages] of which 15 have illustrations or texts. Bound in floral cloth with gilt Autographs on cover & gilt forages. Marbled flyleaves. With entries that read like our modern yearbook signatures a celebration of Ana Maria s tennis accolades, generic but heartfelt expressions of how she was a wonderful friend this autograph book is a brief glimpse into a young lady s life as she (presumably leaves) Barcelona between 1948 and 1950. While a few first names are present, like our protagonist, Ana Maria and her friends Margarita, only one full name, Consuelo de Soto, is legible within the book, which makes figuring out who these young people were is nearly impossible.
