1901 Sketchbook: Ireland Travels
Brown leather notebook with clasp containing extensive drawings of Walter Crane’s travels in Ireland in the summer of 1901. These drawings of landscapes, shores-capes, and townscapes depict scenes from Crane’s time in Killiney, Killarney, Dublin, Bray, Cork, Glengarriff, Kenmare, and Cashel. Serving the function of a travel journal, most of the drawings are signed with dates and locations.
The sketchbook also includes drawings of building exteriors, such as Muckross Abbey and Hore Abbey, as well as a sketch of a dog, plants, and people. Within Crane’s seemingly apolitical journey he includes a drawing of the monument to the Irish political leader Daniel O’Connell located in Dublin. There are two pages of textual notes.
The medium is pencil on paper.
Crane, Walter, 1845-1915
1903 Sketchbook: Honorable Artillery Company
Black leather-bound sketchbook containing visual content of an architectural nature as well as plans for a panel painting.
Architectural sketches include a building interior of a staircase, and a building exterior of of Weaponness Park in Scarborough England. The sketchbook includes a sleeping cat, a still life ink drawing of dried seaweed, soldiers, and a throne.
A mid-section of the sketchbook indicates Crane’s preliminary work for a commission. It includes a centralized composition of an enthroned figure followed by a processional figures on horseback, a floor plan, pages of notes with the repeated letters H.A.C., and costumed soldiers. These pages may have been part of the preliminary work that Crane did for his early twentieth-century commission to commemorate the soldiers of the Honorable Artillery Company (H.A.C.) who lost their lives during the Boer War.
Much of the textual content includes architectural and artistic terminology, such as cornices, wood carving, modelled panel. The notes contain information on measurements, on materials, and colours, types of clothing, and weapons. Numbers appear as dimensions, sums of money in British pounds, and time tables for the train. Evaluative language of student work appear under the headings “Reading College - Examination.”
The medium pencil on paper and ink on paper. The sketchbook includes a dried flower.

1905 Scrap Book, Galahad School
Part of Wilder Penfield Fonds
The file contains a scrapbook from 1905-1917 about the Galahad School. It includes lists of students, a history of the school, events, newspaper clippings, poetry, short essays, recitals, copies of the Galahad Signet newsletter and postcards and photographs. Wilder Penfield is listed as a student between 1905 and 1909, when he graduated. A note at the end states that the Galahad School was closed in 1917 and the teachers went to training camps.
Penfield, Wilder, 1891-1976
Black leather-bound notebook combines Crane’s work and leisure interests.
The portraits of a woman, of a man with the initials L.F.C., and the table of diners are possible representations of Crane’s friends and family––many of whom are mentioned in his autobiography. The sketch of the seascape Llangrannog suggests a trip to Wales, otherwise undocumented in his autobiography.
The sketchbook's varied visual content also includes pigs, building exteriors, architectural details (cornices and panels), Greco-Roman figures, and action scenes where human figures engage with the land; they fish, farm, and gather hay. Additionally, the sketchbook contains a folded sheet of a heraldic lion design, and one page of notes.
The medium is pencil and ink on paper.
