About This Item
Providence RI: Charles Burnett, Jr.. Fair. 1848. Pamphlet. Item: Penmanship book Size: 6 1/2 by 7 1/2 inches Condition: The spine is split, 3 pages have been removed by, I would venture to guess, the original owner, edge wear, soiling, creasing and foxing to covers as shown in photos. ; This unique, vintage penmanship book was owned by Stephen D. Wilbur of Scituate, Rhode Island. The book is filled with page after page of young Mr. Wilbur's handwritting. I am assuming that Sterry is either a nickname or the name of a sibling as he uses Sterry B. Wilbur in the book also. You can tell young Stephen is far from thrilled about having to practice his penmanship as in certain places, it is just shy of atrocious. A fascinating look at your average boy. .

I started out as a book collector and soon progressed to owning a book store with over 80,000 books and more than 10,000 pieces of ephemera, postcards, and other items. I exhibited my stock for years at book and paper shows around the eastern United States.
