Sketchbook; Animal Sketches: Sketches for the Boston Public Library Murals

Sketchbook with beige-cloth-covered cardboard covers; pencil sleeve; remains of cloth ties. Pages of off-white wove paper. Sewn page block. Perforated inner margins. Sketchbook is incomplete, with forty-six pages remaining. Twenty drawings. The pages are numbered in red-brown ink in the upper right corners. Several pages have been removed from the sketchbook, apparently before the numbering. Missing are one page after page seven, one page after page eight, one page after page nine, possibly two after page 19, one after page 20, and five at the back of the book. Contents: Sketches of vultures, tigers, goats, wings, Torah scrolls and a finial, made preparatory to the Boston Public Library murals.
