(N.p.), 1876. (15)ff. An oblong, miniature manuscript album of thirteen tiny watercolor paintings, followed by two pages of music, titled "Etude," written in a miniscule hand. Although done on such a small scale, the illustrations are detailed and colored with delicate precision. Depicted are whimsical subjects, including branches of flowers, ducklings on a pond, twilight landscapes, and a gnome in a red, pointed hat. E.H., the artist/composer, signs her name on the title page and at the top of "Etude" with a monogram composed of overlapping letters. Bound in black cloth with a tan leather spine. Some rubbing to extremities, head of spine chipped, else fine.(7/8 by 1 1/8; 22x28mm). (Item ID: 23897)
