Godey's Lady's Book, 1857

The following are full page images from Godey's and as such are rather large. The medium resolution (med) images are approximately 200K while the high resolution (high) images are about 400K. The print is very small but in the medium resolution images it should be just large enough to read on screen. If not, try the high resolution images, but be patient!
