A lovely sampling of sea mosses collected at Vineyard Sound, Martha's Vineyard and pasted into a dark-red, felt album in August 1883. Each page contains an entirely distinct sea moss mounted onto a uniform, white cardboard backdrop, which is then tipped-onto the page. 15 separate plates. The album has held up very nicely. There's light age-spotting and darkening along a number of the page edges but the specimens themselves are bright and clean and well-preserved. The octavo album is very solid as well and has maintained most of its original late 19th century luster.

The 1968 Columbian, complete in 2 volumes and suffused with the cheekiness --and radicalism-- of the day. Part yearbook, part political positioning, the '68 issue takes the reader up thru March, just before the campus's notorious lock-down and the ensuing cancellation of the Spring '68 semester. Both volumes, in their original pictorial wrappers, clean and VG+. And housed in a Columbia-blue, pictorial slipcase, which has held up nicely and is also VG+. Quartos, 376 pgs. all told.
