Visual Thinking: Sketchbooks from the Archives of American Art
I've always had a thing for the notebooks and sketchbooks writers and visual artists keep. I'm especially interested when the book is a rich combination of text and visuals. This site contains an online version of a display that was on view at the Archives' of American Art's New York Regional Center in late 1997.
"This selection of sketchbooks demonstrates the broad range of material available for research at the Archives of American Art from academic notebooks with anatomical studies to illustrated journals, ranging in date from the 1840s to the 1970s."
