2004.008.0249Description
John F. Dent's pocket diary for 1877. This diary is a combination of account book and daily notes. The entries are in lead pencil. This is an expensive looking dark leather book, probably originally purple, purple on the inside, with the back cover large enough to wrap around to the front, and a strap that wraps to the back, where it is secured under another strap. The edges of the flap are slightly curved and the strap comes to a point. There is a leather accordion pocket at both the front and back of this book, an interior leather cover for the text block, and a loop for a writing implement. The front pocket is stamped "John F. Dent" in gold. The edges of the pages are gilded. Most of the light colored pages are for specific days and there are memoranda and cash account sheets in the back. Mr. Dent entered what he needed wherever he wanted to put it. A tab of paper indicates that this was the 15th diary filmed.Collection
