About this work

Paul Sandby made an album full of watercolours, sketches, and prints. It’s a “commonplace book,” where people copied poems and letters they wanted to remember. The album shows works by family and friends, including the Countess of Sutherland and her nieces. Amateurs made most of the drawings inside. One poem honors the death of Elizabeth Howard, Duchess of Rutland. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum next.
