content: Architectural drawings and floor plans include some that appear to be for the Dorothy Liebes studio and for Liebes's apartment home. Designs by Lawrence J. Colwell are for interiors, furniture, and product packaging. Researchers should note that additional loose pages from a Colwell scrapbook can be found in Series 7: Scrapbooks. Also found here are painted sketches of clothing designs by Daren Pierce.

Items featuring caricatures and sketches of Liebes and studio include a whimsical series of drawings entitled "From the Architects Notebook" with a memorandum of notes depicting a "Conference with D. L. March April 1938," a booklet entitled "Impressions of San Francisco 1938," and a page of hand colored sketches of Liebes in an office setting. These are probably by the same artist, possibly K. Walker or Lawrence J. Colwell. Also found is a 1948 photo reproduction of a valentine with humorous drawings of Liebes's studio staff.

Other artwork in this subseries includes a kokemono screen, paintings, a pastel, prints, and posters. There are two prints by Dorr Bothwell, a print by Jennie Lewis, lithographs by Edith Bry and Jules Vargo, a painting by K. Walker, a poster with original art by Bonnie Cashin, and artwork by unidentified artists.
