Elizabeth Barrett Browning transcribes Robert Browning's "A Face"

The pictured manuscript was copied out by Elizabeth Barrett Browning, perhaps around the time that Robert Browning gave it to Emily Patmore in 1852.  Robert Browning ultimately corrected A Face around 1864 before publishing the poem, and then later gave it to a friend, Mrs. Fitzgerald, in 1874.
