Description
This souvenir folder consists of seven postcard-sized panels folded together accordion-style. The first or top panel has an envelope-style flap at the top that folds over to tuck into a slit in the second panel when all the panels are folded together. The first or top panel has narrative text describing the Lilly Library located at the Indiana University main campus in Bloomington, Indiana. The reverse of the first panel has a photograph of the exterior of the Lilly Library on the left side and lined space for a recipient address on the right side. When unfolded the remaining panels feature various images of the interior rooms and artwork in the Lilly Library collection, including a portrait of President Abraham Lincoln.
