TitleThe Adventures of Three PinsPublisherUnited Kingdom? : self published?DescriptionUnpublished manuscript, comprising [19] loosely bound leaves from a nineteenth century scrap album, each 290 x 240 mm; the manuscript is written in ink in a late Victorian hand on 15 sheets of ruled paper laid down individually on the album leaves; the story is accompanied by 9 large ink and wash illustrations executed on artist’s paper and either laid down or window-mounted, as well as numerous uncoloured ink drawings in various formats; there are a total of 10 blank pages, so the manuscript, together with the illustrations, occupies 28 pages.
Clean and unfixed throughout, although the album leaves are brittle and chipped at the edges (not affecting text or illustrations); the manuscript appears to be complete, and is housed in a roughly contemporary limp leather portfolio (stained and marked) with the initials “B.B.” to the front
