The volume contains images relating to the life of Dante many of which are etchings and heliographs of drawings by Sarah Freeman Clarke.

There is a fourth article on Dante, clipped from an unknown publication, dated Revenna, July 31, 1888 and signed E.S. An undated fifth article on an exhibiton in Florence, celebrating the sixth centenary of the death of Beatrice Portinari follows, which is clipped from the [Boston?] Transcipt and signed Cesare Calvi. A ms. introduction by Dall, dated July 12, 1888 explaining Clarke's work is inserted at the front of the volume, and a ms. letter of transmittal in another hand and dated May 1907 is inserted at the end.
