A reminiscence of the general convention, 1898 : and the house Morgan and them that were therein : album, 1898 Oct.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/270875143

Consists of an album dedicated to J. Pierpont Morgan and assembled by guests invited to stay with him as his guests during the General Convention of 1898 in Washington D.C. The album is meant to be humourous and includes drawings and photographs as well as typewritten text and letters handwritten by guests, both inserted. The identity of the aritist and many of the other contributors is not clear as most of the work is signed by initials only. The t.p. of the album is signed McVickar, probably William Neilson McVickar, Bishop Coadjutor of Rhode Island. The front cover features Morgan's initials in the center and a bishop's miter in each corner.

1 v. (16 leaves) : ill., ports., photos. ; 35 cm.
