Front cover illustration: Hamilton College Library recently acquired Honey: Soul of Flowers to Sweeten the Soul of Man, a four-page price list from Mount Lebanon. The cover illustration is unusual and striking. Mary Richmond notes (Shaker Literature, no. 340) that W H. Cathcart attributes the cover design to "Brother Peter Neagoe, a Roumanian living at the North Family, Mount Lebanon, N.Y in 1906."
