Scope / Description
|
Autograph album, horizontally oriented. Maroon covers with ornate gold details. Just slightly to the left of center on the front cover is a color illustration of a woman in a pastel pink blouse with gold trim. There is a dove over her left shoulder and her right hand is raised to her chin. "AUTOGRAPHS" is angled on the right side. Heavy floral and scrolled decorations around the edges. Nothing on back cover. Written on the inside of the front cover is "Katrine Thomsen / Elk Horn Højskole". Pages are white and unlined, filled with messages from schoolmates, and a few pressed plants and calling cards.
In cases pieces slip out of place, this is the location of pressed plant material:
Between pages with signatures by:
Margrethe Rasmussen and Ane Nielsen - one stem with flower head, one stem with leaves, bag of tiny loose pieces
Dagmar Rasmussen and Mary Thomsen - single small oval piece
E. Berggreen and Anna Johnsen - single stem with tiny leaves and pink ribbon
9 x 6
PROVENANCE:
This autograph album belonged to Katrine Thomsen and was used during her time at the Elk Horn Folk School between 1888 and 1891.
The donor's mother was Marie Dorthea Thomsen Soe, who immigrated to the U.S. in 1883, and later settled in Audubon County, Iowa. There is no additional information in the file about Katrine, but given her last name and the maiden name and immigration date of the donor's mother, it could be that Katrine and Marie were sisters.
