| Title | McCarthy Sketchbook |
| Date(s) | 20th century |
| Description | A blue and gold sketchpad filled with rough drawings. The pad is bound with card at the front and board at the back, joined together with a paper binding. There is an image on the front cover of a golden statue bust against a blue background. It is approximately thirty centimetres tall by twenty three wide. There are no nudes in this sketchbook, which is instead filled with pictures of trees and profiles. There are no page numbers.
There are a few sketches with cubist inspirations, and the drawings of trees and plants are highly unusual for McCarthy.

| PhysicalDescription | Condition: This item is on the verge of destruction and should be handled with extreme care. The covers are battered though not creased, and the spine is rapidly disintegrating due to it being gold paper. Many of the sketches inside are loose and most have worn edges. |
