Margaret Yardley Potter was a Philadelphia resident who wrote the 1947 cookbook At Home on the Range, which was published by the J. B. Lippincott Company. The cookbook was recently republished by McSweeney's, with a forward by Eat, Pray, Love author Elizabeth Gilbert, who is also Potter's Great-granddaughter. Potter was also the food editor of the Wilmington Sunday Star from 1950-1954. This large scrapbook contains Margaret Potter's clipped editorials from the Wilmington Star. Additionally, there are a few photographs of Potter, a typed essay she wrote called "Dinner on a Dozen Dimes," and an advertisement of and order form for At Home on The Range from the Lippincott Company. There is also the front page from the Public Ledger, 3 June 1906, that contains an article on public safety and Col. Sheldon Potter, Margaret Potter's husband and the city's director of public safety. This digital record contains images that depict the entire described item. |
