Unpaginated, about 40 pp. assembled loose leaf in a kraft paper-type cover, held together with raffia-type twine. This is a child's homemade scrapbook about birds, with notes handwritten in very neat, legible script, combined with 10 5-by7-in. color plates of various bird species plus 5 inserted "educational leaflets," 4 pp. each, from the National Association of Audubon Societies. No date, or clues about the date, or the child's hometown, but the neat script suggests perhaps 1940s or '50s or earlier. Includes a short biography of John James Audubon, perhaps copied from an encyclopedia. Cover has a line sketch of a bird, probably by the young authoress. Cover creased, frayed, starting to split at seam. Pages yellowed, and script is faded, but plates are still mostly bright and fresh.

Ephemera. Scrapbook. Birds. Children. Collectible. Audubon.
