circa 1840. Illustrations predominantly depict portraits of prominent figures, including Capt. Nicholas Biddle and Gen. Anthony
Wayne; landscapes, including Fairmount Water Works, Paris, and Italy; European dwellings; and genre, sentimental, and allegorical
scenes, including depictions of children with animals, scenes of courtship, amusement, and solemnity; literary allusions;
and a "Hen Humming Bird with her Nest of Eggs." Clippings, a number from the National Gazette, contain poems, parables, obituaries,
biographical sketches, and literary references. Other topics include advice to save costs from the hardship of winter in Philadelphia,
including lessening wages for servants and purchasing less butter at market; the importance of medical testimony; and a positive
review of the recitation of a George A. Boker poem of war by Smith. Scrapbook also contains a silhouette of a soldier on horseback
and tipped-in printed works, including the program for the wedding of Queen Victoria in 1840; ca. 1887 trade cards for the
Au Bon Marche Paris department store; the 1857 illustrated songsheet "Come Whoam To thi Childer An Me"; and an 1845 newspaper
clipping of an excerpt of "The Diary of a Young Mother" by Lady Willoughby
