George Brooke Album 1

George C. Brooke Gilded Glass Panel Set

A collection of 8 double-faced gilded and decorated glass panels, plus one single-faced gilded panel (originally glued on inside back cover), from the hand of George C. Brooke, Portland, OR, circa 1870. Binding was broken and panels were falling out, so each panel was mounted in a wooden frame and installed, in page order, on a display case via a spindle system so “pages” of album could be turned. Original album is also on display.
