Herbarium Collection with Original Pen-and-Ink Illustrations Enlivening the MountedSpecimens

1889005255Claremont 1889. Wooden box. Very Good. N.d. circa late 19th century. 52 separate sheets housed within a handsome wooden carrying case or box. Fifty of these sheets contains a dried and flattened plant sample -- flowers leaves and stems -- with the plant or flower identified in a neat handwriting and most unusual accompanied by a pen and ink vignette. The vignettes are a mix -- some replicate the plant or leaf and thus might be regarded as modestly scientific in purpose; others are of objects or animals which a pleasant to look at or have an appealing association to the artist -- tennis racquets a sailing boat an owl and the like; yet a third group and these are to us the most special are pure whimsy with a touch of humor. This third category also doesn't relate to the plants or flowers. Perhaps one thing that ties all the extra artistic fillips together is that they have an outdoorsy sporty or summer day quality about them. It goes without saying that the plant samples are arranged neatly and even artistically. We know who the collector and artist was because his name is on both a title page and a brass label attached to the carrying case. The title page also informs us that this collection was created during the Summer of 1889 and for Claremont High School. We would guess that the Claremont in question is one in New Hampshire based on where this collection was found but we can not state that definitively. At the time Claremont was a prosperous mill town and presumably this young Willey would have been from an affluent family who afforded him the leisure to create such a collection. including a title page a second prelim with a pencil illustration of a rose and "Handle with Care" exhortation and 50 leaves with leaf and flower samples every one of which also has an original sketch of some kind. The box really an artist's carrying case with wooden handles attached with thin braided rope to the wood an brass clasps and studs measures 35 by 27.5 cm and is 4.5 cm deep. Each of the leaves the sheets is 32.5 by 25 cm. Loss of some leaves and some chipped leaves as to be expected given the dryness of the organic material. Chips on the side of the title. The title and other prelim are discolored by the metal bar which has held them down in the box. unknown
