Mylne, J ., fl 1807

This 218 page scrap book was gathered together in the mid-late nineteenth century, probably by J Mylne, as his bookplate is on the cover and his school drawings of 1854 are included, as are later sketches and watercolours signed by him.

The drawings and paintings are mainly glued into the book, although some are actually drawn directly onto the pages. Some of the works are dated, the earliest being 1807 and the latest 1864 . The letter on pg. 64, dated February 1880, shows that the book had gone into the hands of Mr James Robb of The Royal Bank of Scotland, Glasgow, Scotland, and his bookplate also appears on the inside cover. The letter also makes reference to "scapbooks", suggesting that this was one of a collection.
