19th c commonplace album delightful collection of manuscript poetry, sketches, and other ephemera c early/mid 19th c, probably belonging to a young woman, housed in a small album box. One can imagine this box sitting on a dressing table and the contents being viewed from time to time. The poems and sketches are almost without exception based on the theme or love and separation and each is on a separate sheet of paper making this a delightfully unusual item of 19th c personal ephemera.
