1875 Encyclopedia's Surprise Gift

While playing a challenge game here, one catagory being "books", I pulled out my old 1875 Encyclopedia's and photographed them. I decided to open one to take a photo of it and there was this maple leaf pressed inside of it. I do not know the age of this leaf, but my neighbor who was 95 yrs old at the time, gave me these books 5 years ago. I just thought this was soooo cool, so I wanted to share:

BY REQUEST, HERE IS ONE IN SEPIA:

 

That is really cool!

200 year old leaf! woot :mrgreen:

 

That's great Sara! I would suggest a plain black border though, but that's just me. Also, have you tried sepia?

 

Nope, but I can! lol

 

Oooh yeah! Would look good with a sepia cast to it!

I actually quite like the border! :thumbup:

 

Sepia page looks much better! :thumbup:

Could do with a plain black or white border now though! :blushing:

 

I like this one.

 

The sepia tone and black border look great! Nice surprise finding the leaf. Definitely a story there....

Great work.

 

I like the sepia image the best. Looks cool.
