or tea bags--is a great example

I had the work of Pearl Blauvelt on my mind when I spotted it--sold to me by a rare book seller who knew nothing about it--and the intensity and changing directionality of the pencil lines animating every inch of the horse

Lovely Early 19th C. Ledger Index with Hand-marbled Cover needlework cat the board on which itI just love these tall and narrow 19th c. alphabetical ledger indexes, which served as guides to much larger account ledgers. And the blue hand marbled cover on this one is especially lovely. With stamped letters on the tabs in black ink, in an unusual font. Not surprisingly, the "Q" page is blank, with other pages ranging from nearly empty to nearly full. 11 15 16" x 3 3 4". One page per letter. Good condition, with binding holding and all pages
