About the book and the artist The scans of the book on this page were kindly sent in by Bruce Wallace who writes: 'As you can see, the Title Page and Contents are handwritten. I have no idea who created the book but it appears to be done in an amateurish manner although with great care. It may well have been done by a student as a school project or as an assignment for an art class. I have also included a scan of a page of notes about the artist that was inside the cover. The drawings vary in size and orientation including one page that has two small drawings mounted. The pages are yellow with age and the cover is worn. I bought this at auction approximately 25 years ago and it has sat on a shelf in my office for all those years.' Bruce Wallace.
