Antique Watercolor Travel Sketch Book 21 Painted Pictures Rio de Janeiro RARE

Description

This awesome travel journal was drawn and painted many years ago by an unknown artist. I came upon this about 38 years ago and was very intrigued and immediately bought it. At one point I thought maybe I’d frame the pictures. The first few pages have come loose from the binding.
PLEASE TAKE NOTE:
****It measures 5 inches x 7.25 inches. ****
Each painting is so unique!  There are many notes added in pen & ink at the bottoms of the illustrations.
Some read:
“First sight of Rio de Janeiro
Brazil S.A.”
“Pier at Port of Spain Trinidad B.W.I.”
“St. Joseph Oldest town in Island of Trinidad.
Oldest Catholic Church.”
“The Bobby at Port of Spain.”
This is truly an amazing old travel journal. It appears that the artist traveled by boat while painting the scenes.
There are a lot of notes written in pencil on the last few pages and inside back cover.  Rather challenging to read.
It’s time to let it go to someone who will love it for a long time.
