Descriptions Description Sketchbook with black-paper-covered cardboard covers, leather-covered spine; stamped in gilt on front cover: ALBUM. Pages of off-white, tan, and gray wove paper. Sewn page block. Sketchbook is incomplete, with thirty pages remaining. Thirty-three drawings. Several pages are missing from the sketchbook and the page numbering apparently occurred after their removal. Missing are one page after page one, one page after page 14, and two pages after page 15. The condition of this sketchbook is fragile; many of the pages are loose. One page (between page eight and nine) was apparently missed during the initial numbering, and that page was subsequently designated "8a." Contents: Tyrolean landscapes, including Bolzano, Innsbruck, Oetzthal, Zillerthal. Figures, costume studies, and animals (mostly cows and goats), with watercolors of a landscape, Innsbruck, and an Alpine farm. Copies after Jan Miel and after Maximilian's Tomb [in the Hofkirche at Innsbruck]. The front pastedown has a sketch of a tree in a circle, drawn in graphite. The back pastedown has an ornamental design in graphite.
