Abstract
A copy of Julia de Wolf Addison's 1910 book 'The Boston Museum of Fine Arts', published by L.C. Page and Company (publisher of Montgomery's first seven books). The book is inscribed on the front fly leaf as follows: "To Bertie with love from L.M. Montgomery [,] November 14, 1910". This volume is, therefore, an artifact of L.M. Montgomery's trip to Boston in November, 1910, for an important meeting with her publisher, and of her close friendship with her cousin Beatrice Alberta ("Bertie") McIntyre. The book was donated with an accompanying postcard (901 SI PC Boston) with a coloured lithograph of the Museum, post-marked March 7, 1910 -- this card has no apparent connection to L.M. Montgomery.
