Description
A sketch of the epigraph page featuring a quote Ralph Waldo Emerson's The Snow-Storm: "Announced by all the trumpets of the sky, Arrives the snow, and driving o'ver the fields, seems nowhere to alight: the whited air Hides hills and woods, the river and the heaven, And veils the farmhouse." A sketch of an image is on the bottom right, perhaps of a field, fence and a mountain in the background.
