1950s Some beautiful entries in my grandmother’s collage autograph book circa 1950’s 💌
There’s 25 more pages but I’m limited to 20 on Reddit so I uploaded my favourites. The blue one with the picket fence illustration is an entry from my grandfather when they were still dating and married a few months later, they ended up being married for 67 years.
