Amanda Beaman

Amanda Beaman friendship books, 1855-1862. One is a dark green journal with gold vase on cover. Two of the edges are worn. Lined, mostly blank pages. Measures: 7.5"x 6.5." The other is a brown journal with gold filigree and bird bath print on the front cover. The spine is cracked in some places. Contains blank pages as well as pages with reprinted images of engravings made by A. L. Dick. Measures: 7.5"x 6.25".
