Six drawings mounted on a single leaf disbound from a 19th century album. One of the pencil drawings shows a vase that was in the Long Gallery at Strawberry Hill; the drawing is possibly by Paul Sandby sketched for his drawing of the view of the Long Gallery. Two other drawings in pen and ink with wash depict vases or urns. Two other pen and ink drawings with wash at the top of the sheet depict architectural ornaments, though one may be a design for jewelry. At the bottom of the sheet is a drawing of a sarchophagus, in pen and ink with pencil; on the front panel is a drawing in pencil of city view, a classical-style building on the left, a forum in the middle, and two columns on the right. The drawing of the sarchophagus is tentatively attributed to James Gibbs
