Vellum bound sketchbook containing 28 leaves, including two which are apparently not originally from the book (f.11 and f.28). The first 14 leaves have been cut out, and are detached from the binding. Front cover has a flap and a length of string so that the covers may be fastened to protect the leaves. The following leaves have been removed: five preceding f.15; one following f.24 and one following f.26. Many other leaves appear to have been cut out and are missing.
