  • General note

    The folio numbers listed below refer to the current State Library album.

    A number of sketchbooks not previously recorded (i.e. new uncatalogued) can be assumed from the parts in this album: 12.1- Sketches 5, 20, 57, 114, 117, 127, 138 and 141 appear to belong together. Dur: Sketches 87, 90, 102 and 108 belong together in a sketchbook of medium-weight textured wove paper which includes the subject matter of Durham. A few of the sketches are not typical of Glover: DGA 30, 118 is by John Richardson Glover; DGA 30, 123 is from DGA 26; drawing on reverse of DGA 30, 86 is not by Glover.
