The Icicle, 1851, With Inside Cover Drawing By Nellie Adams steel wire I'm not quite sure what

The Icicle, 1851, With Inside Cover Drawing By Nellie Adams steel wire I'm not quite sure whatI'm always opening old books in hopes of finding drawings inside, which doesn't happen very often so I was delighted to find this little charmer of a pencil drawing of Nellie's "Album" inside this pretty little 1851 copy of "Icicle". The book, which I admit I have not read, was published by Lane &. Scott, New York for the Sunday School Union of the Episcipal Church on Mulberry Street and includes a marbleized paper cover and a few full page
