Additional history of interest about this book: This book once belonged to the library of The Hebrew Technical School for Girls, which closed in 1932. The copyright page was missing as the book was in disrepair, and we have been unable to find any book like it online or otherwise to obtain additional information.
Please note that the covers of these sketchbooks are upcycled from vintage or antique books that have been well-loved throughout the years. Many of them are nearly or over 100 years old! As such, there may be stains present, worn corners, etc. This book does have worn covers exposing a bit of the book board underneath as well as stains especially on the back cover. We think this adds to the charm and character of their vintage nature, but please make sure to inspect the photos carefully before placing an order.
*page count: 32 papers, 64 sheets counting front and back. With 100% cotton watercolor paper of this caliber, it is common to paint on the front and the back of the pages within a sketchbook.
