| Title | McCarthy Sketchbook |
| Date(s) | 1983 |
| Description | A very large black sketchbook filled with rough drawings. It is bound with board and leather and is approximately thirty five and a half centimetres tall by twenty seven and a half wide. The sketches inside depict a wide variety of images, including male nudes, religious images and a few rough doodles. There are no page numbers.
Several of the pictures in this book appear to be enhanced or redrawn versions of images found in P/MCC/1/17. There is also a pastel coloured image of Pope Gregory with the subtitle 'Gregory the Great Apostle of the English'.
Number of Sketches: 67 |
| Extent | 1 item |
| PhysicalDescription | Condition: The condition of this item is much better than that of P/MCC/1/17, despite both books being the same make. Though the front and back covers show more extensive staining than P/MCC/1/17 and though the spine is equally damaged, the interior of this sketchbook is in much better condition than its counterpart's. There are also far fewer missing pages, although some still show signs of having been cut apart with scissors. |
