Antique History of Art Scrapbook, 1910 | Photos, Handwritten Notes | Monogrammed RRL | shops Egyptian, Italian, Roman Art, Architecture

Here is a massive scrapbook by RRL, dated to 1910. It contains a collection of photographs and handwritten notes about the history of art and architecture

Starting with the Ancient Egyptians and Greeks, the history of art is carefully documented with handwritten script in ink under most images. Notes include brief biographical details of the painter, the location of a certain work of art or the style in which a piece was painted.

The scrapbook itself is embossed "RRL" in gilt lettering, along with the year 1910.

Curator's Note:

Each artifact in the shop is an authentic vintage or antique piece. Our items are carefully curated for their beauty, uniqueness and charm rather than shops their condition. Everything in the shop is sold 'as is'.

You can expect signs of wear that are appropriate with aging such as discoloration, curling, small rips and evidence of previous ownership. I try to capture any extreme flaws in pictures and questions are always welcome.

Caring for Your Artifact:

Take care of your artifact by keeping and displaying it in a climate-controlled area. When storing books, photos and other ephemera, use acid-free tissue paper or archival plastic sleeves (polyester, polypropylene and polyethylene). For repairs, use pH neutral adhesive and acid-free tape.


Avoid using rubber bands, paperclips, tape or glue (unless archival quality) to store or mend your artifacts.
