Scrapbook - A 74-page scrapbook with clippings from Harper's Weekly and other periodicals. Many of the clippings are poems or portraits of well-known figures, such as General George B. McClellan. In several cases Martin has included marginal notes. For example, beside a picture of Hiram Power's statue "The Greek Slave", Martin writes, "I saw this statue in the Corcoran Art Gallery, Washington D.C. March 1893. It was in the center of an octagon room with seats for visitors along each wall to give them a view from all sides." Martin also includes a note under a sketch of Colonel Frederick Dent Grant. "Col. Grant was a brother-in-law of Potter Palmer of Chicago. Both Mrs. Grant and Mrs. Palmer were graduates of Georgetown Academy." Mr. Martin's wife, Rose Eden Martin, was a graduate of this school as well, n.d., Box: 10. Eden-Martin family papers, Midwest-MS-Eden.
