Description
The sketchbook came to the Fogg Art Museum as a loose collection of eleven folded sheets of paper and one loose sheet half the size of the other sheets, with no cover. The consistency of the paper and media indicates that they were all part of the same sketchbook. It was catalogued as if it were bound with numbers assigned to each page. The present order of the pages was determined by close examination in the Fogg's paper conservation lab, taking into account the size and edges of the sheets and the offsetting of media onto adjacent pages. Page 3, 5, 19 and 21 contain the watermark A. Lepage Ainé Tochon-Lepage Succr.
