Me, Me, Me, On and On and On, Mabel's 1883 Single Letter and Short Word Penmanship Notebook textural but papier mache box itselfOne of two penmanship notebooks today, both found in Rowley, MA, one town over from me. This is the simpler of the two whole pages of single letters, and then short words: me, on, our, nor, etc. I just love seeing these whole fields of "o"s and "me"s and "ace"'s. Feels both like found poetry and abstract drawings. 7 1 8" x 6 1 2". 24 numbered pages plus cover, all completed. Very good condition.
