Miss Marsh c. 1855 - 1860

"Miss Marsh, the Pennies Friend," is an anonymous work from c. 1855-1860. The title page of this small, illustrated book (only 48mm high and 38mm wide) features a portrait of Miss Marsh within a decorative frame, with the title and text printed below. The other page showcases the book's title, "Recollections of our Time," in a stylized typeface surrounded by ornate floral illustrations. This book likely served as a devotional text, intended to impart moral lessons and stories to its intended audience. The small size and decorative style were common for gift books popular during the Victorian era.
