Descriptions

Description
The sketchbook came to the Fogg Art Museum as a loose collection of folded pages, with no cover. The consistency of the paper and media indicates that they were all part of the same sketchbook. It is made out of six pieces of paper folded together. The sketchbook was catalogued as if it were bound with numbers assigned to each page. The present order of the pages was determined by close examination in the Fogg's paper conservation lab, taking into account the size and edges of the sheets and the offsetting of media onto adjacent pages.

Page 4, 6, 7 and 9 contain the watermark A. Lepage Ainé Tochon-Lepage Succr.
