Two very unique one of kind Victorian scrapbook albums, belonging to the same young woman in the early to mid 1800's. I believe her name was Mary Ann Secrist and later she married Uriah Crowell. I found them listed during this period as a couple in Seneca, Ohio.

Included are some interesting journal entries, die cut clippings, a few sketches signed by Mary Ann and remarkably a tiny book from from 1831 in the original envelope titled The Little Dog. There is also what I think is a negative to paper photo transfer of a woman I think is Mary Ann. A transfer would occur when a wet negative or plate was pressed against the paper for a long period. A kind of early photographic print if you will. Just amazing time capsules from the period.

This item is sold from a vintage boutique in Pendleton, South Carolina.
