scopecontent

{"value"=>"<p>Leather-bound album containing various artwork and manuscript entries, presumably by friends and relatives of the Rev. Hubert Thos. Parker. The visual works include: watercolor illustrations of the development stages of the water-beetle, the nettle butterfly, and the dragonfly; a pencil drawing of St. Mary's Church, Hampton Lovett; a watercolor of \"Lake of Sarden [i.e., Sarnen],\" Switzerland; a pencil drawing of Lord Byron; a watercolor of a \"Fossil fish found on Carzington Hill Oxon. 1820\"; and other pieces, depicting subjects such as pastoral landscapes, ruins, domestic scenes, birds, and other animals. Among the manuscript entries are: a six-page original collaborative poem, each of the fifteen sections signed by its writer; poetical extracts from Felicia Hemans, Catherine Fanshawe, and Moses Browne; notes on ruins observed at Port-Royal-des-Champs; and an extract from \"Recollections of an eventful life, chiefly passed in the army, by a soldier.\" Dated items range from 1820 to 1831. Laid in is a 1902 autograph letter signed A.H. Hallam Murray, thanking his recipient (\"Dear Madam\") for allowing him to see her grandfather's album, explaining the Byron portrait is a copy after G. H. Harlow.</p>", "supress_display"=>true}
