Dreer autograph collection [Box 216, letter to Robert Dale Owen from Mary Shelley, Dec 30, 1830 & Nov 9 1828] Description An account of the resource Ferdinand Julian Dreer’s chief hobby was collecting autographs. He started with two documents and over time he was able to amass more than 15,000 items from some of the world’s most prominent and intriguing public figures.
