(Small sketchbook - black cover, inside cover says "Morris Blackburn/Gloucester Mass./Aug. 1954")
Morris Atkinson Blackburn
The images include some figural studies and many unfinished line drawings, with one full color sketch of a dock. Blackburn also used this as a journal, and there are two dated entries. The first is from 4/8/1955 in which he discusses printmaking vs. painting, the second is dated 4/4/1957 in which Blackburn theorizes the role of the artist.
