Very Sweet 19th C. Handmade Notebook with Lots of Animal Drawings kitchen decor whose drunken escapades are detailed

whose drunken escapades are detailed in the story of the "The Redeemed One" surrounding her in the antique scrapbook from which she was at some point cut out--but she does look like one who has been through some things

from the is simple geometry and exactly right cropping of the house in the background

with hand-carved drain

but have since learned there is a long history of vessels like this--the earliest example British and dating back to the 1300s--with holes around the lip

and I think it would have been used as a pill box

Very Sweet 19th C. Handmade Notebook with Lots of Animal Drawings kitchen decor whose drunken escapades are detailedThis is a very charming small notebook filled largely with graphite drawings of animals, plus a watercolor cow on the cover, a couple of pages of clipped prints, and a print on pink paper on the back cover: "No Breakfast for Growler!" Personally, I think the drawing of the elk with sea behind him and the drawing of the two lions in the forest are small masterpieces, so I've shown them first; otherwise photo following the pages in order. 5 7 8" x 3 15
