DescriptionRed cloth-covered boards 245 x 195mm originally containing 96 pages of off-white medium-weight wove paper 240 x 188mm in twelve signatures of eight plus front and rear endpapers. The spine bears a strip of masking tape inscribed in ballpoint pen MISCELANOUS (sic) /(Fishing/etc/Landscape. The front endpaper is inscribed in pencil upper centre Irina's notebook. The pages are unnumbered. The first three signatures, part of the fourth and the rear endpaper bear drawings. The notebook may have been started as early as c.1973; many pages are 'pen exercises' from 1975, some of which were redrawn in 1977 and 1979, and others were drawn in 1977. Page 1, all pages of the third signature, and some of the fourth were removed at an early date, probably in 1975. The drawings from this notebook were given HMF numbers for 1979 although the book was probably first used in 1975. some drawings were subsequently reworked in 1977, others were drawn in 1979.
