Nineteenth Century English Scrapbook Album with Original Artwork and Handwrittten Poetry and Prose

1846SW476-7257England 1846-1891. Hardcover. Near Fine. Contemporary full dark green morocco lavishly stamped in blind and gilt on boards and spine; 4to 210 x 265 mm; approx. pp. 200 nearly full with handwritten poetry and prose original artwork albumen photographs and ephemera -- sometimes adhered to the page direct on the page or loosely inserted via corner slots. A little scuffing along spine and edges of boards else fine. A varied collection of highly skilled original artwork including 6 paintings en brunelle 12 in watercolor or gouache and 7 in black ink wash; plus 11 pencil drawings 4 sepia albumen photographs mounted direct to the page ranging in size from 122x85 to 132x195 mm about a dozen handwritten contributions of prose and poetry including one in Spanish and more than 50 pieces of ephemera. Decades in the making and with contributions from numerous hands this is a rich and remarkably accomplished volume -- one wonders if it was perhaps created by a circle of artists. Landscapes and landmarks of England appear in the original artwork such as a finely detailed drawing of the house where Sir Isaac Newton was born and photographs St. Mary's Church; New College from the Gardens as well as the ephemera numerous engraved illustrations of castles neatly clipped from unknown sources. Far-flung locales are also represented: View on the Medina River pencil drawing Martaban at Sunrise beautiful watercolor of Burma an architectural drawing that suggests India. Prose and poetry contributions mostly original offer religious sentiments thoughts on love and friendship and a bit of humor in particular a piece entitled "Georgy on Shakespeare" argues that the Bard is greatly over-rated. Ephemera includes holiday greetings numerous illustrations extracted from unknown sources and the occasional die-cut. Landscapes birds flowers -- all the hallmarks of a typical album of the period -- though this one is particularly nice. <br/><br/> hardcover books
