About This Item
Hardcover. Very good. Sketchbook containing 12 highly accomplished ink drawings of the interiors of different styles of homes, as well as one incomplete sketch. Book measures 6.25" x 8.25" and shows moderate external wear. Internals very good, with minor soiling. "Mr. A.M. Jesing" is written on the front pastedown, and one drawing is dated 1909. Presumed to be English, based on London stationer's label and the identification of one drawing as the staircase and hall at "Barn House" in Whitstable, Kent. The artist is likely Albert Max Jesing (1870-1963), a native of Kent who worked as a maker of oak furniture. Captions include "Mission Interior," "A Stuart Bed," "Modern Interior," "German Interior," "A Modern Hall," "Corner Fitment," and "Fitment for Fire Place." Each drawing contains a wealth of detail reflecting the corresponding style of furniture, decorative arts, and design.
