- Summary
- Album of sketches, loose in binding (spine missing), containing unsigned caricatures and drawings in pencil and in ink and watercolor, text in pencil and in ink beneath many of them. The caricature sketches and text form short narratives, somewhat like comic strips. Three drawings appear to be in a different hand, perhaps just a different style. Provenance note in ink on inside front cover: "Mary Elizabeth Hunter -- These sketches, by Mr. Robert Browning Senr were given to me by him, set by set as they were finished. Paris. 1859-60." Within buff board enclosure.
