Item description

Fascinating Parlor Book owned by Marie (Minnie) S. Shed. Marie was the daughter of Charles and Julia Shed. The parlor book includes pages of artworks, poems, notes (some in French). Poems by Annie Nahl, Alieta Brittan Shed (Marie's sister), George Swasey (son of Charles Swasey). Lizzie Crocker; note from John Muir; and paintings by Minnie Park (Possibly Minnie Ella Hubbard Parks) who was born in New York on June 26, 1871, and studied in San Francisco at the School of Design in 1893 and exhibited with the local art association); flower paintings by C. H. Williams, 1883; J. Bennet's drawing of a farmer; a watercolor by K. M. Herbert. City: Alameda State: California. A charming book from the 1870-90's of poems, writings and artworks from friends and family of Marie Shed. These are beautifully written in script in sentiments so sincere. Unfortunately there has been some water damage and mold on several pages. Still a very worthwhile item for collectors.( 10" x 8.5", originally bound, but loose pages now). Date: Country (if not USA): State: California City: San Francisco Provenance: Fred Holabird Collection
