Spelling and sketch book, 1875
Collection Scope
The materials in this collection belonged to Virginia Fox’s grandmother, Ellen Scripps Booth. There are Ellen’s, (also called Nellie), childhood spelling and penmanship books, a sketchbook, showing that she shared her mother’s interest in botanical miniature painting (1874-1878). There are also books given to her by her father, James Edmund Scripps (1860-1879). The few pages of botanical notes, in Box 1, were stuck among the pages of Object Lessons in Botany.
