Ruth Seifert's 1915 New Brunswick High School Biology Notebook with Great Diagrams pears drawing early-mid 19th century

early-mid 19th century

None too often that most of us use an ink blotter these days

--on the face of this sterling medal both lovely and poignant

as I have found a few other pieces--cabinets mostly--with very very similar marquetry patterning

with these especially great headphones that seem abuzz with sound just sitting there

Ruth Seifert's 1915 New Brunswick High School Biology Notebook with Great Diagrams pears drawing early-mid 19th centuryLots of charming drawings diagrams in this biology notebook, kept by a Ruth Seifert, enrolled at New Brunswick High School, in 1915. I am especially partial to the bird (such a great flurry of labels dissecting it!), but excellent frog and fish and crawfish and earthworm, and teeth, too! And a very empathic sort of clam! Ruth was an excellent notetaker, too. Methinks she got an A++. 10" x 8", 25 pages, combination of handwritten notes and drawings
