Scrap Book

Visual Materials

One scrapbook entitled Scrap Book, compiler not named, ca. 1905. The scrapbook is within a stamped and embossed brown cloth binding; the title is stamped on the spine. The binding is decorated with a black floral design and pattern which surrounds a round, gold and silver embossed floral scene in the center of the front cover. The scrapbook is 68 unnumbered pages in length, and contains images both in black and white and in color -- some are chromolithographs. The images include those from newspapers, magazines, reproductions of paintings, photographs and other art works. Among the images are landscapes, seascapes, people, animals, greeting cards and architecture. Many of the images within the scrapbook are dated between 1900 and 1905. Mounted to the front pastedown is a chromolithograph chart entitled "Color-Types of the Races of Men, British Association Scale" which labels 10 skin colors and the nationality of men associated with such skin colors. For example: Pale White is labeled for "American"; Brownish-White is labeled for "Italian"; Dark Yellow-Brown is labeled for "Malay"; Copper Colored is labeled for "American Indian"; and Coal-Black is labeled for "South African." "6.00" (price) is written in ms. in the upper left-hand corner of the front flyleaf. "2437" is stamped in black ink in the bottom left-hand corner of the rear pastedown.
