TitleMcCarthy Sketchbook
Date(s)20th Century
DescriptionA beige drawing book filled with rough sketches. It is bound with card and staples along the spine. It is approximately twenty seven and a half centimetres tall by eighteen and a half wide. All three of the drawings are very rough sketches and only one is a male nude. There are no page numbers.

There are only three sketches in this book. The first depicts a bird holding a cloth marked 'John' in its beak under a miscellaneous doodle, the second shows a man holding a young child, both of whom are nude, and the last depicts a bound man.

Number of Sketches: 3
Extent1 item
PhysicalDescriptionCondition: As with P/MCC/2/1, this drawing book is in relatively poor condition. The flimsy card covers bear many of the same problems, being creased and somewhat dirty, and the staples on the spine show clear signs of encroaching rust. Internally the situation is much worse, however, with the vast majority of the drawing book's pages having been torn out.
