Up for sale is this lovely antique art scrapbook belonging to one Robert Houston. The book is full of ink and pencil drawings as well as some watercolors. When counting one side of the paper as a page, there are approximately 57 pages with drawings and approximately 16 pages with watercolor paintings or drawings with some watercolor shading. About 4 or so pages have book/periodical engravings adhered to them, some are 18th century and some mid 19th century. A couple of pages have small Victorian embellished cards. Some pages have a spot of light staining, a small chip or tear, creased page corner, etc. A couple of pages are loose. There are a couple of pieces of artwork which are torn as well as a small amount of other ones which have some small chips or tears or soiling. Some of the pieces of art have some foxing. About 3 or so of the drawings have nice manuscript lettering with some drawn embellishments. About half of the drawings are in pencil and about half are in ink. A couple of the drawings are done with what looks like pastel. Some of the pieces of artwork are more skillfully done than others. Some appear to be a bit juvenile.
