My favorite entries from my 2nd great-grandmother's autograph book 1880-1883

Was recently gifted a ton of old family photos and items from a cousin, among them this autograph book belonging to my 2nd great-grandmother. She would've been in her late 20's when collecting all of these. Seems like she had some pretty talented and artistic friends!

Sketchbook containing the drawings that a girl named Emily M. Madden (b. 1858) made of her cat, Mouton, between 1856 and 1859. She imagined him in fabulous situations and adventures, with other anthropomorphic animals, and after his passing, the rest of the pages were left blank 🥹

Tom Wiggins (1849-1908) was a famous American pianist, composer, and performer who was born blind and had autism. His joy in life was playing the piano with which he became extremely skilled. He was also a very talented composer. Sadly, he was exploited for profit during his life.
