Notes:
Sketchbook of a tour on the Continent, possibly in Switzerland, kept by Louisa Skelly. The album is inscribed at front "Louisa S." and at rear "L. Skelly." No dates appear in the album. The work is clearly that of a young child. Six of the drawings are relatively finished full-page watercolors over graphite. The remainder are in graphite alone, some very unfinished.
