Vintage Wartime Sketchbook
This charming sketchbook offers a glimpse into the creative life of a young girl during the 1939-1940s. The small, hand-bound book features a mix of pencil sketches, including a landscape scene with a figure, and handwritten text. The pages contain personal reflections and a message referencing a wartime broadcast from the King, offering insight into the anxieties and spirit of the era.
Condition and Collectibility
The sketchbook shows signs of age and use, with some wear to the cover and pages. The paper has yellowed with age, adding to its vintage appeal. This piece is a unique piece of ephemera, offering a personal connection to the past and a fascinating glimpse into the life of a young girl during wartime. It would be of interest to collectors of vintage paper, social history enthusiasts, and those interested in the lives of women during the 1940s.
