Note:
by William Brooks, Benjamin Sherman Brooks, and Edwin Moody.
Most items unsigned. Some clearly signed "EM" for Edwin Moody, or "WB" for William Brooks. Others are in sketchbooks of William
Brooks. Brook's stamp of ownership appears on many items apparently by Moody. In many cases it is unclear which drawings are
by Moody and which are by Benjamin or William Brooks. Further confusion results from that fact that at least one drawing is
signed as "after EM", possibly indicating that Brooks copied Moody drawings.
Volume 4 contains Edwin Moody sketches, and others are among the loose drawings shelved in oversize boxes.
Series of three sketches signed "G. Dore" (v.1, p.48).
Volumes 2-4 and loose materials from v.1 and 4 housed in one box and shelved on-site as --fALB.
