Fritz Wikersheim sketchbook 1847-1851 BANC PIC 1963.002:1304:01-46--ALB

Additional Note

Sketchbook containing forty-seven drawings and watercolors of various subjects and locations in France, the Mediterreanean, Barbadoes, New York, New Orleans, Cuba, Mexico, and California. Starting from Rein Lenweier, Alsace on board the "Victor" (ship) in January 1847, and continuing later aboard the frigate "Thetis" and the "Henry Shelton", until at least 1851, the sketches were possibly done during a voyage around the world. Included are cariacatures and portraits of local people, city views; animal, plant, and fish studies; still lifes, vessels, lighthouses, towers, churches, and other subjects. The dates are based on dated images in the sketchbook.
