  Victorian album of collages

  Manuscripts

  This album is composed of 12 original collages inserted into decorated paper-covered front and rear boards. Collages are made with paper, silk ribbons, flowers, dyed wool, shells, leaves, cut-outs from various printed sources, and lithographs. The collagist was likely an Irish Catholic young woman, either from or living in Avoca, Wicklow County, Ireland (there is a collage page with the title "Sweet Vale Avoca"). Each collage speaks to a different theme ranging from rural life, nature, a childhood home, childhood, youth, communion, perceptions of old age, and a haunted house. Each collage has a title and handwritten pasted-down captions, some coming from popular songs and verse including Thomas Moore's "The Meeting of the Waters." Housed in a slip case with gilt title "ALBUM ANGLAIS."
