Beautiful antique Wedding Blossoms marriage keepsake book, published by C. R. Gibson & Co., New York and printed in Germany. Features embossed silver cover lettering, floral artwork, wedding poetry, Biblical marriage passages, and decorative illustrations throughout.

This copy was actually used as a wedding record and contains an original handwritten marriage certificate documenting the marriage of Richard W. Whitehead of Portland, Oregon and Lucia Woelfel of Portland, Oregon, on October 19, 1910, at Centralia, Washington. It includes witness signatures, an original period photograph, and a pasted newspaper clipping announcing the marriage license.

A particularly attractive early-20th-century wedding keepsake with strong period graphics and an unusually complete piece of personal history. Original cord/tassel binding remains present. There is age toning, spotting, edge/corner wear, and some separation/wear at the interior binding consistent with its age.

Date: 1910
