Object history
This galley-proof is for Mary Eliza Rogers's 'Domestic life in Palestine' which was published in 1862. Mary Eliza Rogers (b.1827) was the younger sister of W.Harry Rogers. The galley-proof is part of the W.Harry Rogers Archive and to quote the information on the archive provided by 'RW' on 6 February 1998 on the registered file 1997/1476:-

'It is extraordinarily rare to have this sort of documentation at this level of production for the middle decades of the 19th century. The fact the (sic) the state of the designs ranges from rough sketches to finished drawings and proofs allows the pieces to document the design process very closely.'
