Provenance

General Notes

Note

Notes: Condition Notes - 1997: Some sheets are onion skin, some torn and with ragged edges, most are too large for efficient flat storage. Because the drawings have been stored in rolls for so many years and because of their fragile condition, no attempt has been made to flatten them. They continue to be stored in rolls, but are now stored in smaller rolls, divided and labeled by subject with the added precaution of acid free (labeled) paper covering on each roll to help protect them from handling, dust, etc. Due to the fact that many of the drawings lack any positive means of identification or dates, and that unrelated drawings were lumped together, further careful analysis, identification and matching of subjects should be done at some future date.
