Visual Materials
Includes four travel journals containing Yoch's sketches and notes on places visited in Europe and Africa (Items 1-4) and one hardcover volume of Yoch's handwritten travel notes (Item 5, 349 pages). The travel journals, which were featured in the exhibition "Personal Edens," contain drawings and notes on various landscape design features in places including Italy and England (Item 1, 1922, 50 pages); Spain, Brussels, and North Africa (Item 2, 1924 and 1935, 28 pages); Spain and Switzerland (Item 3, approximately 1924, 27 pages); and England and Spain (Item 4, approximately 1924, 51 pages). Notably, Item 2, which is labeled "Old Travel Sketches - FY" on the front cover, contains a list of plants of North Africa dated 1935 and sketches for the landscaping for the film, The Garden of Allah; and Item 4 includes two typed pages of lists of flowers. Item 5, dated 1920, contains indexes on countries and on some topics, several pasted-in maps and other materials, and inserted notes pages; the item is extremely fragile.
