- Scope and Content:
- Album of drawings by Anna Margaret Carr and Sarah Grace Carr . Only three drawings appear to be signed: "Hougoumont, Sept. 21, 1816" (no. 2) and "Salden House, January 26, 1832" (no. 19) are initialed by Anna Margaret, while "Hampstead Heath, Jun. 9, 1815" (no. 57) is initialed "SGC". From this evidence it is difficult to determine which drawings were executed by which sister, especially since the 1816 drawing initialed "AMC" has a very similar style to those that appear to be by SGC. The differences in style among the drawings seem to be attributable more to the age and maturity of the artist than to individual aesthetics, since the earlier drawings are generally more exact, detailed, and stiff; the later drawings are vaguer and done with a blunter pencil. Places identified in the drawings include St. Mary's Scilly, Hougoumont, Dover harbor, Delft, Pisa, Nuremberg, Bex, Baveno, Tourtemagne, Edgeworth, Holdenby House, Lowestoft, Tynemouth, Windsor Forest, Hampstead Heath, West End, Hormead Bury, and Tunbridge Wells.
