Manuscripts
The collection consists of 21 volumes belonging to artist Charles Broughton from 1888 to 1944. Each volume is a combination of diary, journal, commonplace book, and sketchbook. The cross-hatching sketches, drawn by Broughton, are of animals, places, outdoor scenes, historical figures, and common people (perhaps Broughton knew them or came across the individuals and sketched them). Some of the sketches also relate to Broughton's travels, as well as the First and Second World Wars.
