I am a contract archivist working at a special collection of children's books in Toronto, Canada. Recently I found in the collection a sketchbook identified by the name "Wm. Newcome, 1793". There are drawings loosely inserted that have been mailed to R. Newcome, Mansel Street, Goodmans Fields, London, and to Wm. Newcome at No. 55, Mansel Street, Goodmans Fields. The drawings are clearly the work of a school-boy and are quite charming. If anyone has information about this family to help me describe the item I would be most grateful.
