| PhysicalDescription | Condition: This sketchbook is in rather poor condition. There is a four centimetre long tear in the upper half of the spine, and the lower section is slowly flaking off. A photograph originally pasted onto the inside cover has come away, and there are several loose pages scattered throughout the book. Many pages have been torn out, and the final page has been ripped in half diagonally. |
