TitleMcCarthy Sketchbook
Date(s)20th Century
DescriptionA mottled brown, beige and green sketchbook filled with rough drawings. It is bound with board and leather and is approximately twenty three centimetres tall by fifteen wide. The sketches inside are mostly rough doodles with a few explicitly sexual drawings as well. There are no page numbers.

The sketches within this book are far more sexual in nature than those in most of the other sketchbooks. In addition, near the back of the book is a continuation comic of the play on words regarding Cardinal Ratzinger first found in P/MCC/1/30 and P/MCC/1/31, indicating that this sketchbook came after them chronologically.

Number of Sketches: 43
Extent1 item
PhysicalDescriptionCondition: The overall condition of the book is good. Both the front and back covers are clean and show no signs of discolouration, and the spine is intact. The inside of the sketchbook is in similarly good condition, with no evidence of loose or torn pages.
