Title: A Hand-Drawn Sketch Book of Archaeological Artefacts
Description: Not Stated, None, c1900 . Leather. A wonderful hand drawn sketch book containing illustrations of a variety of archaeological and historical artefacts, likely connected with the county of Dorset. A charmingly hand illustrated work.In a smart half calf binding with marbled paper covered boards, this work bears the spine label 'Halls Ancient Dorset, Vol I&apos. While the identity of Hall is not provided within the work, it likely that this work may be attributed to Hall. Along similar lines, while only a small number of illustrations bear captions, one that does refers to a sixteenth century knight known to have lived in Dorset. Consisting of three-hundred and seventy pages, illustrations appear to rectos of leaves only, with the majority of pages blank.Illustrated with: a depiction of a small dagger; twenty images of pottery and earthenware; an illustration of a grave; an unusual line drawing portraying a horse-headed man holding a fish on a spear; a broken bracelet; three blade shards; twenty-one unspecified broken objects; two images of a helmet identified as belonging to Dorset knight Sir John Strode (c1561-1642); one page with nine pencil drawings captioned 'New Zealand Celts'; two further small images of helmets; seven pieces of clay pipes; a further page of pencil illustrations, and finally, a metal hinged object.Three leaves contain a handwritten poem running fifty-six lines, titled 'The Leather Bottel', and with two pencil illustrations of leather bottles. This poem, beginning 'twas God above that made all things / The heav'ns, the earth, and all therein' is anonymously authored, though the earliest references of it dates back to the reign of Charles II.With two loosely inserted illustrated slips, one with a landscape illustration, and the other with a small box titled 'a leather coffer&apos.A charming volume of sketches. In a half calf binding, with marbled paper covered boards. Externally, lovely. Light fading to back strip and head of rear board. Minor rubbing to board perimeters. Internally, firmly bound. Pages bright and clean. Very Good Indeed . Ill.: Not Stated. Very Good Indeed .
