One of our favorite parts about working with special collections is seeing how previous owners interacted with the materials as objects. We found this fabulous #Feathursday feature, dated 1857, while cataloging our copy of The Select Letters of Major Jack Downing (Philadelphia, 1834). Here, the blank leaves bound at the front of the book were used as a drawing pad– thirteen years after the book was published. 

Smith, Seba, 1792-1868. The select letters of Major Jack Downing. Philadelphia: Printed for the Publisher., 1834. xi, [1], 212 p. :  ill. ;  18 cm
