Note
A "Receuil de Chansons" started by C.P. Steenhardt in 1819, containing many pages of song lyrics and a few pages of music-notation. The flipside of the book contains recipes for remedies and other common household applications, as well as three drawings/ sketches in pencil. The book continued to be used by Steenhardt's family members, evolving to be used for excerpts, quotes and some personal thoughts. The last entry was in 1951, with a small drawing of flowers on the opposite page.
