Volume : Dovell 1841-1845
Abstract:
Compilation of poems and verses written by and to Elizabeth "Ellen" Dovell and acquaintances with some pieces identified by name or initials and dates. Selections include Bible verses and poems such as "The Moss Rose" by Friedrich Adolf Krummacher, "The Polka," "The Child of Solitude," and "The Christian's Hope." Two pencil sketches of sailing ships are present. This blank book is missing its cover; numerous pages bear ornate embossed rectangular and oval frames, in which contributors could write. It contains blue, purple, pink, and yellow paper. The title page is a hand-painted navy-blue curtain with gold highlights on the tassels and edging. Within the curtain is "Scraps," "E. Dovell," and several flowers.
