Look I found Grandfathers Sketchbook
« on: Tuesday 03 June 08 10:28 BST (UK) »
Hi

Thought I would like to share my good fortune with you all.

Last week I visited with my folks,  & came across this original sketchbook from 1917.1925.

All the pen & Ink drawings are done by my Grandfather William Thomas Screeton.

Some historical figures, & some quite witty & lighthearted .

Thought you might like a peep so here they are just 2 of many the pages.

If anyone wants to see the full collection I will put up a link later
