  Sixteen loose prints, with separate binding

  Visual Materials

  Sixteen loose prints (Env. 8) and binding that may have held them (Env. 9), ca. 1865. Both the images and the binding bear the name, written in ms., in ink, "L.V.P.," "L.V. Palmer" or "Louise V. Palmer", who probably collected and used the images for personal use. The images do not appear to have come from one source. All of the images have been numbered in ms.. Most of the cards depict ruined castles or chateaux and nature scenes. While the binding may have been used to hold the cards, the length of the cards exceeds the proportions of the binding. The name "Louise V. Palmer" is written in ms. on the inside front cover, along with the phrase "Lower Woodstock, 1865". There are also two quotations and the name "Miss Jennie Hubbard." On the back cover there are some Greek letters and the phrase "My Darling" at the top.
