(FRIENDSHIP ALBUM.) Corbould, Edward Henry. 19th-century album kept by Ida de Kreeft, The Arches, Sutton, Surrey. A host of very appealing and often comical ink and watercolor drawings by Edward Henry Corbould and others. 8vo, 8 1/2x7 inches, contemporary burgundy morocco with gilt letters "IDA" on upper cover, worn with small damage created by loss of foredge clasp. [England, circa 1885]
Accompanying the initial sketch by Corbould is an invitation for visitors to submit their additions to her book: "Miss de Kreeft would feel highly delighted, if any friend who can handle a brush would (when he comes down this way) contribute in ever so trifling and easy a fashion, something calculated to please herself and others..." In addition to the finished entries by the noted British artist, several amateur acquaintances capably gave Ms. de Kreeft the pleasure of their submissions.
