Notebook No.2 1921-22

Maroon paper-covered boards quarter-bound in red cloth 225 x 175mm; the book probably contained 62 pages of cream lightweight laid paper 224 x 170mm in five signatures of ten and one of twelve, including the inside covers and endpapers. The front board is blind-stamped lower right LAMLEY & CO./PUBLISHERS,/SOUTH KENSINGTON. The pages were numbered in pen and ink by the artist upper right on the recto and upper left on the verso after some had been removed. Many pages are now missing and some others have become detached; blank pages or pages with only an inscription were not previously included in the catalogue raisonné or given AG numbers, though each carries an HMF archive number.
