Here are two antique mid-1880s to early 1890s autograph books.
They belonged to two sisters, Alice and Anna (Annie) M. Wollaston.
From what we can gather (based on pages that are signed), they were perhaps the children of Mr. & Mrs. (Rebeca) Edmund Wollaston. Their cousins were Ellwood H. Wollaston, Emily S. Wollaston & Charley P. Wollaston. Their aunt was Lizzie Wollaston. Their brother's name was Harry. The towns listed are Philadelphia & Chester PA as well as Willow Grove, Stanton & Wilmington DE,
The larger book measures 7 3/4" by 5".
The smaller book measures 7" by 4 1/4".
NOTE: The smaller book has a few loose pages. Also, the colored pictures that you see are printed by the book company. They are not hand drawn.
The number of entries in each book is listed below. There are many blank pages. Most of the more elaborate pages are photographed. The remaining are more plain.
