Visiteboekje en notitieboekje van ivoor before 1872

This is a set of two ivory notebooks, a visiting and a note book, made by Fa. As. Bonebakker en Zoon. Made of ivory and stored in a brown leather box, these notebooks are small and would have been used as a personal diary or for recording social engagements. Ivory was a popular material for luxury goods in the 19th century and these notebooks are a good example of that trend. The notebooks are now on display at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
