Book Description

KERR, Georgina. A manuscript drawing book completed 1905/6 whilst Georgina attended The Vale of Leven Academy in Alexandria [West Dunbartonshire, Scotland]. Thirty pages of drawings in pencil, and watercolour sketches, on recto and verso of each leaf, many images around a school theme. In original linen backed ‘Drawing Book’ with ornate title on the upper cover, and sepia landscape view on the rear cover. It has “Georgina Kerr First Year” in pen on the front board and with the Academy name in pencil. The covers have some wear, mainly marginal and evidence of old waterstain to both covers but not to the pages. The drawings give a delightful evocation of an Edwardian school; Georgina draws her Summer straw boater and her Winter hat. There are sketches from nature, and of equipment in the Science laboratory, kitchen and garden. Full of naïve charm. 340mm x 235mm. 1905-1906.
Author KERR, Georgina.
Date 1905
