Watercolor Sketchbook, Late 19th or early 20th century
Scope and Contents
An unbound sketchbook containing 16 images in various stages of completion, 11 of which are finished with watercolor. Contents are townscapes and landscapes, likely English, and several trees. An image of a bridge surrounded by mountains bears a strong resemblance to Ashness Bridge in Keswick, in the English Lake District, and the sketchbook may have been created there. A loose watercolor of a horse is also included. The bridge image is signed “R.M.” Likely first half of the 20th century, possibly late 19th.
