Ruth Seifert's 1915 New Brunswick High School Biology Notebook with Great Diagrams pears drawing What a beautyLots of charming drawings diagrams in this biology notebook, kept by a Ruth Seifert, enrolled at New Brunswick High School, in 1915. I am especially partial to the bird (such a great flurry of labels dissecting it!), but excellent frog and fish and crawfish and earthworm, and teeth, too! And a very empathic sort of clam! Ruth was an excellent notetaker, too. Methinks she got an A++. 10" x 8", 25 pages, combination of handwritten notes and drawings
