Description

This bookplate reads "Nottingham School Board. Bath Street Board School. Presented to James Harvey for regular attendance , good conduct, and attention to lessons during the year ended Aug 31 1881 / AH, Angrane. Head Teacher." At the bottom of the bookplate there is a quote: "whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with all thy might." which is from Ecclesiastes 9:10. This indicates that this child attended a religious school and the bookplate itself, rich with gold ink, might hint that this was a slightly more upper class school.
