Herbert Francis Williams-Lyouns Sketchbook, 1922
This collection is composed of a journal belonging to British-born artist Herbert Francis Williams-Lyouns entitled “Album of Sketches of the Holy Land.” This book begins with a handwritten description detailing the spiritual journey he embarks on through his world exploration. Within his sketchbook are sixty-three colored-pages of pencil and pen sketches that illustrate scenes of biblical inspiration found from his tour of Palestine, Jerusalem and Egypt during 1922. Many of these impressionistic sketches are supplemented with Bible verses as well as notes in English, Hebrew, and Arabic. Additionally, many of the sketches are signed “HWL.”
