Description
A sketchbook used by George Lambert during his time in Palestine. It has 30 leaves and contains 15 pages of drawings and artist's notes with an additional 15 blank pages. The drawings included in the sketchbook are a mixture of landscapes, animals, bones and human figures. The artist used both sides of the sketchbook, and the drawings and notes in the final few pages are upside down.
On the inside front cover there is a drawing of two metal screws and a round cannister of some kind, with the lid removed.
