TitleMcCarthy Sketchbook
Date(s)c. 1987-1988?
DescriptionA large and thick black sketchbook filled with rough drawings. The book is bound with board and leather and is approximately thirty centimetres tall by twenty one and a half wide. The sketches themselves are a mix of male nudes, clothed males and architecture. There are no page numbers.

There is an article from a newspaper pasted onto the first page in the book. There are also two purple bookmarks marking two of the sketches, which are 'Death on a Horse - AIDS' and 'Saint Scudder'.

Number of Sketches: 74

PhysicalDescriptionCondition: The condition of this sketchbook is relatively good. The outside covers are slightly discoloured due to splashes of paint, and the spine is showing signs of wear at both ends, but otherwise the outside is fine. The same holds true for the inside, which is almost perfect except for the occasional puckering of pages due to moisture.
