[Rosebud page in Sarah Schenck album, manuscript, 1826-1842]
Description
At the center of this page an unknown artist has painted in watercolor two pink roses growing from a single stem--one almost in full bloom, the other just beginning to bud—and entwined it with a blue and yellow bloom (perhaps a passion flower).
[A Napoleon Memorial Page in Elizabeth Aders’ Autograph Album]
Description
Preserving dried flowers and a scrap of wallpaper, this page is found in the album that was kept over many years by the salonnière and painter Elizabeth (Eliza) Aders. The pasted-in piece of wallpaper seems discolored with age, and has an indistinguishable green and off-white pattern.
