This panel depicts a, "L" with drop-shadow on one side, and a pastoral scene with letter-forms rendered from natural objects one the other side. All are double-sided except for one single-faced gilded panel (originally glued on inside back cover). They were created by George C. Brooke, Portland, OR, around1870. The set was acquired with its binding broken, so each was mounted in a wooden frame and installed, in page order, on a display case via a spindle system so "pages" of album could be turned. Original album is also on display.Collection
