Four American 1940-41 14-Year Old Girl Sketchbooks of  City Women

A set of enchanting small sketchbooks made by 14-year old Grace Marmor  
who we believe lived in New York City at the time. The pencil sketches  
are mainly of women, with some notes of the date, and a short  
editorial or descriptive comments, such as, “Undecided”, “Wow!”,  
“Trying to make an impression in her very odd gown”, and “The Type”. A  
fourth book has a variety of subjects. The sketches are dated between   
1940 and 1941. Grace Marmor was born in 1926 and later became a  
Professor Emeritus in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at  
Rutgers University, Newark where she was a member of the faculty for  
47 years. These sketchbooks are from her recently-dispersed estate.

Four 4”x6” sketch pads; 49 pages, light soil, minor wear; 83 pages,  
some soil and wear, top edge rough; 20 pages (plus additional blank  
pages), some soil and wear, 1 page detached; 18 pages, a variety of  
subjects in a rougher style, quite worn with pages detaching, tape  
stains, soil, and so on.  $150
