THIS IS A WONDERFUL DIARY THAT STARTED IN 1891

AND ENDS IN THE 1940s

MOST OF THE DRAWINGS ARE SIGNED AND DATED THE DIARY HAS A LOT TO DO WITH CROMWELL HOUSE BROMLEY.

OPENING PAGE TO DEAR LAURA A LITTLE REMEMBRANCE OF HER FRIEND FLO WILKINSON.

LOTS OF ORIGINAL DRAWINGS, PAINTINGS, DEVOTED POEMS , HAND WRITTEN MUSIC NOTES

AND INTERESTING SNIPPETS THROUGHOUT LOTS ARE SIGNED AND DATED

THE ORIGINAL LEATHER COVER IS STILL ON ALTHOUGHT IT IS COVERED WITH VELVET TYPE MATERIAL I THINK FROM THE 1800s ALSO A SMALL STICKER INSIDE T MARTINS & SONS BROADWAY BROMLEY.

THE PICTURES ARE VERY DETAILED AND COLORFUL AND MOST SIGNED

I WOULD THINK THIS DIARY MAY HAVE BEEN IN SOME ART SCHOOL AS IT QUOTES SHE IS THE ARTIST OF THIS SCHOOL TIFFINS.

SOME OF THE NAMES LISTED IN THE DIARY I THINK WERE TEACHERS ADA HIGHTS 1891,ETHEL MARIN CROMWELL HOUSE,NELLIE DEBITT 1891,JESSIE COOKE,F APPLETON 1892,KATIE HAWKINS CROMWELL HOUSE BROMLEY.DAVID HOLD LEEDS 1893,ALBERT W SMITH 1893,E N GREGSON 1893.J PARROTT 1892.FLO A M WILKINSON CROMWELL HOUSE BROMLEY DEC 16 1891.JOHN L WHITE 1890.GEORGE BRETHERTON 1892 AND ELEANOL BRETHERTON.MANY MORE DATES IN THE 1940 I HAVE TRIED TO GIVE AS MUCH INFORMATION AS I CAN FROM THE CONTENTS.OTHER PICTURES AND DETAILS ARE UP TO 1940s,

CONDITION OF THE BOOK A FEW PAGES ARE LOOSE SO CARE NEEDS TO BE TAKEN WHEN HANDLING.THE PICTURES ARE REALLY BEAUTIFUL AND THE VERSES VERY TOUCHING.!!!!

Sounds a good buy if you come from the area. Lovely idea.
