Personal Fruit
A page of fruit illustration clippings in the Emma Saxton Pascoe Scrapbook, from the scrapbook collection at The Emergence of Advertising in America: 1850 - 1920, Duke University:
The Emma Louise Saxton Pascoe Scrapbook probably was created between about 1890 and 1908. Emma Louise Saxton was born in 1880 in Viroqua, Wisconsin. She taught for several years in Wisconsin before moving to Michigan in 1904. While teaching in Bessemer, Michigan, she met and married Edward George Pascoe. Names of several relatives appear on name cards and reward of merit cards: Erma Favor, Fannie Favor, and Clement Saxton.

Interestingly, from what I understand, those cookbooks you linked to were actually created by food companies to promote their products. Not unlike what you might see today on a food company's web site or in a magazine advertorial.
thanks admin for sharing this cool thing with us.
