Summary
Description
Album, decorative title leaf matching H. P. Blavatsky's Scrapbooks, volume 6, page 55, item 1. The decorated capital A with vine panels, letter shapes, passionflower vine and tendrils, butterfly, right-hand flourishes and printed imprint correspond to the album. The NYPL impression is brown; the album impression is magenta. This is a matching design in a different colour impression, not the same physical exemplar. No colour alteration was applied to make them agree. The designer is not established.
Source
The printed imprint reads LONDON: MARCUS WARD & CO., And ROYAL ULSTER WORKS, BELFAST. No year is printed on this leaf. The NYPL catalogue's 1876–1890, approximate range is catalogue dating, not a physically printed year or a demonstrated first-publication date. The collection's L. Prang heading does not establish that Prang published this specific sheet; the physical Marcus Ward imprint is retained.
