Description
Sketch book used by Harriet Perkins. The binding of the sketch book is disintegrated so the book now consists of a loose collection of her art work. The images are mostly watercolor and consist of drawings of flowers, landscape scenes - many with castles, and various small sketches. Of note is a watercolor palette that Harriet created, outlining all of the shades she intended to use in her artwork.
