content: This series includes drafts of children's books illustrated and written by Helen Ludwig, numerous sketchbooks, loose sketches and drawings, and several sumi ink and watercolor books which can be unfolded to depict scenes of San Francisco and other locations. Unlike the sketchbooks which hold sketches and drawings of various subjects in different mediums, the fold-out books are examples of detailed paintings by Ludwig, some of which were featured in her exhibitions of San Francisco scenes and others which were used in publications.
