Sketchbook and commonplace book of Eliza A. J., an otherwise unidentified, probably British woman who made entries circa 1825-1827. Contains 14 ink or ink-and-wash drawings, 8 watercolors, and 3 pages of manuscript transcriptions. Most drawings and paintings are signed "Eliza" and one is also signed "E A J." All entries are undated except for one, dated 1827 and the paper is watermarked 1825. Two drawings give credit to sources (Adriaen van Ostade, Thomas Orde); others are probably after other artists, though some may be original.
