[East Boston, Massachusetts: circa 1935].
Sold
Hardcover. Octavo. 100 press numbered and lined pages. Half red cloth and marbled papercovered boards. Ownership signature of Mabel D. Bragdon, boards a bit rubbed, one leaf detached, one corner creased, overall very good. About half of the leaves have handwritten recipes, with many others laid in loosely on paper, or on cards. Often the recipes are attributed to friends or acquaintances. Bragdon was an accomplished artist and achieved modest success, with some auction records of her art. A laundry receipt to her husband, Dr. Horace E. Bragdon is laid in, and while unrelated, helps to date and further identify the author of the recipe book.
