[Curiosa] Manuscript and Watercolor Friendship Album Germany, ca., 1720. 12mo; 4 x 6 1/2 in. (102 x 167mm). Illustrated with four full page watercolors, including armorial features, and one watercolor embellishing a manuscript entry; approximately 27 manuscript entries, most in Latin and at least one in German, with several entries dated 1716, 1718, and 1722; several blank leaves. Contemporary brown calf, scuffed, extremities rubbed; stamped in gilt; all edges gilt; scattered soiling in margins. This volume is likely representative of upper middle class university life. The presence of several Polish-language words among the entries may indicate a connection to Silesia, Poland.
