TitleMcCarthy Sketchbook
Date(s)20th Century
DescriptionA small mauve sketchbook filled with rough drawings. The book is bound with board and leather and is approximately twenty one and a half centimetres tall by fifteen and a half wide. In terms of sketches there are a few religious drawings as well as a number of male nudes and still life. There are no page numbers.

There is a list at the front of the book regarding subjects for a black and white film and subjects for colour and black and white. It is hard to tell what these lists are about without greater context, however. In addition, there are many poems and prayers pencilled in after the sketches.

Number of Sketches: 39

PhysicalDescriptionCondition: This sketchbook has been decently preserved. There are some slight discolourations on the front cover, but the spine is not creased or peeling away. Inside the book a pasted-in picture has come away from the page it was stuck to, but there are no missing or torn pages.
