Love this snippet of a life; seems that it is from a young person student and it reveals the treasures of that person.

Do you have George Eliot pics anywhere ??? My daughter and I have fallen in love with her works ... really really great movies from bbc...

cool! ... I wonder though ... is it Earnest Hemingway's personal belongings? ... I wonder. It would be nice to know whose treasures these once belonged to.

It's a nice picture. I'd like to know about the items in the picture since it says "Holding a Piece of Family History". That would be nice, yeah. Thank you.

It's like a small slice from a person's life. Could have belonged to Sir Richard Burton. A personal still-life.

I love how Jordan filled the frame. Part of me wishes that a piece of correspondence was included that would include a name, date, or sentence to offer a little more insight into the meaning behind the belongings. Regardless, it's a nice image, and I'd like to see more like it.

this reminds me of the wallet belonging to my Grandfather, really reeks of old treasure..the colors and the leather are lovely ...

I love it!
