- Curator's comments
- The ten pages of the sketchbook are stapled together and protected within a brown paper cover. The cover is printed with a drawing of a tree, some Burmese script and a stamp. The artist's name is written in large roman lettering on the cover as well. The first page of the sketchbook includes the title ('Color [sic] sketch of seneries [sic] from Burma') within a blue painted square and a decorated border. Some of the finished works that originated in this sketchbook were used as tourist brochures advertising Burma.
