(Large sketchbook - orange paper cover)
Morris Atkinson Blackburn
Two written entries; first is a lecture, "Relationship between the observer and the observed (Reality)," which discusses creating art for a public vs. creating art for the self. The second is a letter to a Mr. Lawrie (?), requesting him to print a series of etchings for him. There are some large sketches of female nudes, as well as a large study for a cubist landscape. The rest are rough line drawings.
