content: There are six sketchbooks created by Wilde. In the sketchbook dated 1943-1944, Wilde marked pages to indicate that those sketches were developed into finished drawings or paintings. Many of the sketches throughout all of the books are accompanied by Wilde's writings and feature himself, his friends, and his first wife Helen. Lists of artworks and accounting notes are interspersed with the sketches and writings. The sketches are mainly in pencil or pen but a few painted sketches are also be found.
