Notes:
Manuscript poem about a trip to Rockingham Castle, in 1817, together with a set of 9 drawings illustrating the same excursion. The poet and artist remain unidentified, beyond the initials given in the title. The fair copy verse is written in neat pen and brown ink, on 26 numbered pages, sewn in simple brown wrappers, with the manuscript title on the front cover. The drawings are executed in a skilled hand, in pen and black ink, with gray wash. They are uniform in size, each 11.5 x 31.5 cm, and sewn together at the left edge. Each drawing also includes a reference to the corresponding page number in the manuscript poem.
