"All my Fridays?"

This wonderful, antique scrapbook recounts the courtship and burgeoning romance of an Ohio State University couple in 1911.

It's a remarkable piece of handi-craft and folk art, with dozens of magazine clippings from the day featuring artwork by and in the style of Charles Gibson, Harrison Fisher, and others. As you'll see, the pictures are mostly accompanied by small handwritten narratives which range from sweet, wholesome sentiments to - at times - outright innuendo.

So, please, grab your favorite beverage and cozy up for the romantic adventures of one Betty and Billy.
