Two Scrapbooks or Photo Albums Item Number: ET24539-0 from the National Museum of Natural History

Notes

Two old (late 19th-early 20th century?) scrapbook or photo album covers, with contents removed. One has "Souvenir of Jamaica" imprinted on the leather cover, and no pages inside. The other one has a cardboard cover, covered with marbelized paper (no title/text). It has several pages inside, one of which is labeled "Mallery, Garrick; Introduction to the Study of Sign Language Among the North American Indians". Otherwise, both books are unmarked and completely empty. These were found in a box with catalog number E73552-0 (a set of Haida gambling sticks and pouch), and apparently at one time were used to house those objects or their associated casts E73552-1.
