Sketchbook of a Baltic Voyage 1882

The sketches in this book were made during a voyage aboard the S.S. James Groves in August to September 1882.  The book contains twenty-one pencil sketches of various subjects, many including ships.  There is a view of Elsinore and Elsinborg from the sea, two pages of studies of people, a view of Nizhni Novgorod, some uncaptioned sketches, a view of ships at Soderköping, two of Motala, one of Wadstena Castle, these last all in Sweden, and other sketches of views which I cannot place, possibly because the names have changed, or have been misspelt by the artist.

The sketchbook has a leather spine, missing its backstrip, but is otherwise in very good condition.  There are some occasional marks, but the book is mainly clean and bright and is tight in its binding.  It measures 13cm tall by 18cm wide and has blank pages as well as those with sketches.
