- Description
- The image shows an open, aged scrapbook with rough-edged brown pages, revealing its wear over time. On the left page, there is an old sepia-toned photograph of a woman in a modest dress and white bonnet, likely Sojourner Truth, sitting beside a table with a floral arrangement. Below the photograph is a caption reading, “I sell the Shadow to support the Substance. SOJOURNER TRUTH.” The right page contains handwritten notes in black ink, detailing a visit to the NY Public Library with mentions of a J.D. Salinger exhibit. There is an additional mention of a "Sojourner Truth card" and a reference to the Lisa Unger Baskin collection at the Grolier Club.
