Daniel H. McDaneld, 1901
Scope and Contents
A book created by the Hide and Wool Trade of Chicago memorializing their long-time member Daniel H. McDaneld following his death in 1901. The text takes the form of several resolutions recognizing McDaneld’s contributions to the field, extending sympathy to his widow, and laying out their plan to create the memorial volume itself. The book is made of ten gilt-edged board pages with highly decorative calligraphy in at least 4 separate scripts, bound into a black leather cover with gold embossing by a gold grosgrain ribbon. A title page reads “In Memoriam,” and a small illustration of a laurel wreath follows the end of the text. A note on the verso of the final page reads “B.C. Kassell 1005-112 Clark St” – Kassell & Co. were noted engrossers and illuminators.
