Scraps Collected During My Stay at Worcester Academy, Worcester Mass, 1908, 1909, 1910 (Original Scrap Book with 46+ Printed Pieces of Ephemera)

Griffith Evans Hubbard; Worcester Academy

Self, 1908

Hand made scrap book with 46 original pieces from Worcester Academy, 1909-1910.  Most pages have hand written notes from G.E. Hubbard describing the ephemera.  Quite exceptional!  Hubbard's paper on the German Kaiser and British Empire is a particularly interesting read.
