19th century Victorian scrapbook. Loose page inserted inside front cover with engraved printed text: Presented as a token of affection. <br>On the blank lines provided there is a 19th century inscription from a Mrs. Fanny Brown, which has been mostly obliterated by the handwritten note: To Patty; R.D. & Jess, Sept. 15, 1959. <br>Book is filled with illustrated poems by Robert Duncan and mixed-media collages by Jess Collins, as well as a clipping of one of his "Tricky Cad" comic strips. <br>Also contains two full-color lithographs by Thos.
