An illustrated commonplace album with transcribed verses, watercolors, and drawings; the album was a gift to Ann Jordan from her brother W. P. Jordan in 1828. The album contains 27 watercolor illustrations including flowers and butterflies (the latter usually cut and pasted to various leaves), and nine pencil sketches. Also included are poems by Thomas H. Bayly, Mary Ann Browne, Lady Byron, Lord Byron, Benjamin Franklin, Oliver Goldsmith, Peter Pindar (whose real name was John Wolcot), Ann Radcliffe, and George R. Sims. The album contains a number of blank pages and is bound in contemporary red half morocco; the corners and spine are worn and damaged.
