It is clear that had J. Lindsay Davis not been a women in the 1920s, she might have had a bang up career as a sign painter or draftsman.

The book begins with an unbelievably precise logo for The Auditing Department / Pennsylvania Power and Light Company / Allentown Pennsylvania.

Though most of the subjects mirror Victorian and Spencerian themes (many religious), each is executed with skill and a modern hand. The exquisitely symmetrical power lines on the Christmas card would look more at home as an industrial advertisement. 

Both this card and the illustrated envelope were found inside. Envelope may be earlier, it appears to be fountain pen embellished w/gold ink. 

Possibly a bank ledger (7 x 11.5") binding w/gilt and gorgeous tissue inserts presents the hand drawn work of an early industrial banker’s wife as gift. Includes (8) drawings, the Christmas card measures 4.25 x 6.75” and envelope 4 x 9.5”. Dated 1927.

Exhibits occasional foxing and grease spotting to the white moire silk endpapers. Complete and clean otherwise.
