Vintage Autograph / Sketch Book

Album

This auction is for a nice old autograph album and sketch book which dates back to the first half of the last century.

It shows lots of personal messages and lots of nice sketches and watercolor’s. They have been signed and dated and there are more than i can show. The book is 180 mm (7″) by 145 mm (5.5″) and the cover is very worn.

The seller has shown several of the sketches in his auction listing… and many more are in the book.

This looks to be a great piece of vintage ephemera.. have a look at this Vintage Sketch Book
