Hildegarde's Harvest, by laura E. Richards

            Dana Estes, 1897

One of five "Hildegarde" books with matching designs. White stamping was a difficult process, as it frequently flaked off very quickly. The example below deomstrates this quite clearly !  The monogram is an early and unusual one, only seen, to my knowledge, on this series.
