A Cautionary Tale

A Cautionary Tale
The miserable, depraved delinquent!
A page from a small book called "The Infants' Magazine", from the same people that published the actual magazine for many years in the 1890s and beyond.
Inscribed in a fancy pencil inside the cover it says:

Nellie Jenkins
Sing Sing
N.Y.
1895

I assume (hope) she didn't write this from inside the prison.

I bought this book for perhaps a quarter in a Goodwill store in New Haven, CT in 1964.
What a find! Even then I was all about vintage. : )

Alan Mays, have particularly liked this photo

haha You're so right!
And I literally remember things I couldn't afford with my pocket money and still regret! One daguerrotype in particular of a little girl - $6!
