Condition
The sketchbook shows signs of wear and tear, expected of an object of this type. The cover has nearly detached and the binding has become loose. Some sheets have frayed edges, some dirt, discolouration and foxing. However, the sheets generally are well preserved. Some treatment may be required but the book is a lovely working example.
