About This Item
San Diego: N.P., 1927. Original oblong sketchbook bearing 26 pp. of original pencil sketches by E. May Caldwell (she has signed the last page as well as given her address in San Diego). Original wrappers with cloth tape spine. Sketchbook manufacturer's name, Vadun, printed on front cover. Very good.The opening three pages are all full page, and very accomplished, sketches made in Saratoga, California and are followed by two of scenes in Santa Cruz. The remaining pages are smaller sketches of plants and animals. E. May Caldwell appears to have hailed from Boston and is a known artist (although there is not much data available). There is a newspaper report of her spending 2 days in San Pedro sketching the harbor in 1915.. She obviously made her home in San Diego.
