Description

Untitled scrapbook. Scrapbook has red fabric cover and is held together by twine laced through six eyelets. The number "8" is handwritten on spine. Scrapbook contains 50 pages. The bulk of the materials are clippings from 19th century and 20th century periodicals, catalogs, and magazines, such as "Arts and Decoration," "House and Garden," "Country Life," and "The American Architect." The majority of clippings depict a wide variety of sideboards, cupboards, cabinets. Forms include china cabinets, corner cupboards, dressers, urns, pedestals, and bookcases. Interspersed throughout are photographs, but they have no identifying information. Most of the pieces are from the 15th through the early 20th centuries and are from Europe, Russia, China, and the United States. None of the clippings depict the work of A. H. Davenport Co., Irving and Casson, or Irving and Casson - A. H. Davenport.
