Six sketches arranged on vertical sheet. At top left, two sketches of finials: one is a ball mounted with a crescent moon; the other is in the shape of an obelisk. At right, a three-story masonry house with steeply pitched, tiled roof, an elaborate 'trapgevel' façade in the Dutch manner. Above the second story is a date plaque on either end of the façade: ANNO 1623, with the initials of the original owner in the center of the plaque. The upper story was likely added to a three-over-three configuartion of the earlier building at the first and second stories. The upper window is framed by quoins of large blocks with two small, similarly detailed round-arched windows above. Tie rods decorate the upper levels of masonry while the lower half of the façade has a bracketed cornice below the date plaque. To the left of this sketch are two details of the brackets on the same house. They are in full Mannerist strapwork style and are seen both in elevation and from the side. Above this is a small sketch of a cartouche of the shield of Leiden in the form of a lion with yawning mouth sitting upright presenting a shield with crossed keys.

Vertical sheet illustrating a detailed elevation of a three-story house with attic in typical Dutch style. The building is both timber and masonry construction with eclectic elements. The house is set back from the cobbled street visible in the foreground. The ground level consists of two square glazed windows flanking a Dutch door. The upper half of the door is oopen and a woman wearing a cap and a small cat perched on the lower half of the door are visible. The secon level has a row of five round-arched windows framed by quoins. A similar pair of windows flanks a shuttered window opening above. The 'trapgevel' façade likely conceals a steeply pitched roof. Tie rods are visible throughout the masonry sections of the façade.

Six sketches arranged on a vertical sheet. At top left a wood-hulled riverboat is viewed from the side, and also from the bow and stern. Below this is a sketch of the date 1600, the numerals formed by pieces of ironwork with prominent joints. To the right, a late Gothic style tracery window which the artist notes was created with brick and not stone. Above at right are two sketches of a chain with ring- and diamond-shaped links. The diamond-shaped links have spiked projections on either flat side of the link, making it, as the artist notes, difficult upon which to sit.

Vertical sheet torn with bottom half missing, leaving a rough bottom edge. Depicted in center of sheet is a large timber-frame house with a chimney. The house consists of three stories at one corner - the elevation is articulated by projecting stringcourses and terminates in a 'trapgevel' façade. Adjacent at the ground level are two windows, one with a shutter hanging askew from its hinge. At this corner of the house, one section up to the second story has been removed to create a round-arched entrance.

Vertical sheet consisting of six sketches. Beginning at top right are two small sketches of dormers. The upper example is seen from below and covers a shuttered window. The dormer element ends in a three-sided projection with decorative metalwork cresting at the joints topped with a tall finial above. The lower example is viewed from teh front and it has a projecting pyramidal overhang, topped by a spike finial, similar to a lightening rod. Below this is a sketch of the arms of the town of Hoorn: a unicorn with its head turned to its left, rearing up on the legs of a gargoyle clutching in its hooves a shield with curled sides. At bottom right is a sketch of a double gable masonry house, its 'trapgevel' façade punctuated by iron rod ends to support the stones. At left is a small lookout tower seen from below. The side of this structure has three windows, ending in a drop finial. Above left is the Hospital of Hoorn, a tall masonry building with its façade articulated by five levels with stepped ends and scrolling ornament. The window and entrance openings at the ground level are defined by quoins. There is a Palladian window at the center above the entrance flanked by single round-arched windows on either side. There are four smaller quare shuttered openings; the one at the building's far left has a small lantern projecting from a bracket. The window scheme of the upper stories is similar but a triangular pediment is substituted over the windows. The building bears a date plaque of 1563. To the building's far right is a smaller, simpler three-story building bearing a date plaque of 1723.

Vertical sheet depicting a large, eclectically adorned masonry Romanesque structure with later additions. The building's main elevation terminates in a corner, while the rest of the building is rounded toward the rear. Very small timber-frame structures are seen in the foreground. The building's character is in keeping with the Northern Renaissance style: it has a steeply pitched roof culminating in a large, four-sided clocktower with a galleried, octagonal double cupola and tall ornamental finial. The façade's lower elevation consists of a row of blind trefoils, a row of small windows above, and another small blind arcade before the attic story. There are turrets at the façade corners, and another in the center of the façade upon which sits a unicorn bearing the arms of the town of Hoorn. A date plaque above reads 1532-1651 in a banner. Visible at the rear of the building is a rounded façade with blind arcade.

Horizontal sheet bound vertically in album. Study of many windmills in an open, marshy landscape. In the foreground are short grasses. At a further distance in the midground is a large windmill at center right, seen from the side. The mill consists of an octagonal central tower that graduates in diameter until it is capped by a rounded roof from which large blades spin. Two large supports buttress the roof and are anchored into the short story beneath the tower. This tower and another to its right bear a striped flag with three bands of color - the center band is lighter than the upper and lower bands. Similar mills are seen along the horizon.

Vertical sheet depicting on recto a wooden balcony or gallery and circular staircase with balustrade sketched quickly, containing many inscriptions by the artist defining the details which are not fully worked. The horizontal balcony element is supported by a heavy beam, the end post terminating at top and bottom with "cupid faces" as defined by the artist. Below the beam at right is a figural wood corbel that the artist describes as "wooden... / support bar". The newel post at the top of the staircase has "a lion with shield and arms (not so high)"; underneath the newel post opposite to this, presumably hanging from the beam obscured by the staircase, is what the artist describes as "a pendant under this post" in the shape of "a monkey". The staircase is carved along the top edge and has what the artist defines as a "scroll, small french curve" below. The rail is connected to the baseboard by balusters, and consists of three registers: a "leaf" at top, a "scroll" in the middle, and "leaf egg" with a "bead" below. The treads at the bottom of the staircase fan out into a curved bottom stop wider than the rest of the staircase. The artist notes to the right of the bottom newel post "columns .... around it".

Depicted on verso is a small band of scrolls contained in a rectangle; another small sketch of wavy lines framed by beading at top and bottom.

Vertical sheet depicting two sketches drawn at Haarlem. At left is a tall, narrow steeple on top of a square tower. The tower is masonry in an earlier Romanesque or Gothic style, with two louvered lancets visible with a blind arcade above. The tower corners are topped with crockets which are connected by slender (possibly iron) supports. From this base rises an octagonal clock tower in a more fully executed Gothic or late Gothic style. It can be divided into four levels: at the bottom, a flamboyent Gothic tracery opening at each side; above this, another openwork lancet gallery with crockets at the corners; finally, a blind arcade with small cupola surmounted by a crocketed, opework onion dome with spike and ball finial. The other sketch at right, as noted by the artist, is a "balcony or gallery / on the hotel de ville / Haarlem". The rectangular gallery has a small balustrade which supports five Ionic columns upon which sits a deep and heavy cornice. The gallery is supported from below by five scrolling modillions. The artist notes the "modillion" molding "supporting the" cornice's "overhang", and that the columns have "good Ionic proportions".

Vertical sheet illustrating a walkway that leads to a large, pointed arch opening in a massive masonry city gate. Above the entrance is another pointed arch lancet window with four glazed panels. Rusticated quoins define the openings of both arches. At the same height as this window are two turrets with octagonal domes and ball finials. A clock is seen at the top of the façade, and behind it, the steeply pitched roofs of the various towers on the other side of the gate. The gate seems to straddle a water source, as the road rises in the center from the grass alongside, and a road or pathway is raised up on supports perpendicular to the gate.

Vertical sheet with two sketches: above, a Romanesque cathedral tower with noticeable additions. The tower's façade is articulated by three tall lancet window openings with louvers (possibly containing a bell within). A small arcaded tracery balustrade is below. Above the lancets is a broken pediment that projects upward, surmounted by ball finials at the three corners of the pediment. At right is another finial; at left, a short masonry element supporting a flag. This story has a small gallery that projects forward. Beneath these projections are tall, slender masonry supports creating an openwork lancet. The drawing on the lower half of the sheet is a detailed sketch of a Baroque doorway. The doors are framed by an arch with quoins and doric columns supporting a thick cornice. Above each column is a lion facing the other. The façade continues behind them: a broken pediment is raised up ending in a semicircular cap. Large c-scrolls at either side further define the imposing pediment. Behind this is the continuation of a wall with a gallery at right.

Horizontal sheet tipped vertically into binding. In the center of the midground, a mill is seen from the front at a distance in a marshy landscape. The view of the artist is from across a body of water where marsh grasses are indicated, and the water deep enough for two small boats to navigate it. The mast and sails of two boats are visible at left and right of the mill, further obscured by the grasses in the foreground.

Vertical sheet with view of buildings on either side of a narrow road with figures. The road bends to the right, and lining the street at left are multi-story half-timbered structures, their second stories overhanging deeply and supported by larger wooden brackets. Many have their shutters open, and the upper story windows shielded by a canopy when the shutters are not present. The roofs are steeply pitched and lined with tiles. At the bottom of the sheet, the artist has given a guide for colors seen here.

Vertical sheet depicting three sketches of architectural details. At left, a slender tower with octagonal domed cupola rises from a tiled roof. Adjacent to the base of the tower is a cross seen in a three-quarter view. The tower consists of two repeated sections: an arcade topped by an octagonal dome, that is surmounted by a tall finial with a ball and weathervane. According to the artist's inscription, the cupola is made of "black slate / and wood / painted black." At upper right is a very low dormer over a window that breaks the tiled roofline of, as the artist notes, a "convent / Baden." Below right is the detailed sketch of a two-story dormer with glazed window and half-timbering decoration on the facade. The artist notes that in the "top window there is a swinging oak bracket / for handing things up with."

Horizontal sheet tipped vertically into binding depicting an elaborate black ironwork railing, as the artist notes, is from an altar. At left the railing begins with a thick square post decorated with very small gold quatrefoils (possibly blind?), and terminates in a tall post that emerges from what the artist calls a "sort of serpents head," and is capped by a ball finial. The decorative frieze of the railing adjacent to the post is in the shape of repeated figure 8, which trails into a single rod of metal that makes large scrolls (according to the artist's notation, this is "12 in". The scrolls regularly terminate in the head of either a dolphin or a parrot. The scrollwork meets what is likely the center of the railing where the letters IHS painted golden yellow are inscribed in two confronted scrolls that create the shape of a heart. Beyond this the scrollwork is only rendered faintly with watercolor to indicate the railing's continuation. Below this are two sets of ironwork of the same pattern, a heart shape similar to that in the section of railing above, although only scrolling and foliate elements highlighted in gold are contained therein.

Vertical sheet illustrating five sketches of buildings or architectural elements. Beginning at top left is a simple, timber-frame structure with steeple in the center of the main façade. The eaves are ornamented with bargeboard decoration underneath. At top right is a small ogee canopy over an open casement window. The canopy appears to be tiled. This small sketch is identified by the artist as "Forsbach / Valley of the Murg / Black Forest". At center is a half-timbered building with steeply pitched roof, and the artist has noted a small addition to the corner of the building which is prominently supported by large timbers underneath. At lower right is a small tower with faceted onion dome cupola and four-sided finial or weathervane. The drawing at lower left is much larger than the others, and illustrates a shingeled, timber-frame structure with two story tower completed by a tiled steeple with ball finial surmounted by a cross.

Vertical sheet with frayed bottom and right edge. Illustrated are sketches of buildings and architectural features. Beginning from top left are two domed steeples, both with shingled onion-shaped cupolas and tall finials. At right is an elevation of a timbered building with a large, deep gable on both stories which shade open windows with shutters. In the center is a very small sketch of a dormer within a shingled or tiled roof. At lower left is likely the same gabled building sketched on the upper half of the sheet, but now viewed from a corner angle, the gables supported by very large timbers which the artist identifies as being "at least 3 ft." At lower right is a very quickly sketched tiled or shingled roof with an awkwardly oversize "bell" cupola, as it is named by the artist. The cupola projects from the roof on a very thin support, and balloons above it. The cupola is shingled, and terminates in a small ball finial with weathervane.

Vertical sheet with two sketches of buildings. At left is a half-timbered building with a shingled or tiled steeply pitched roof that has a very deep overhang. The building is raised up on tall timber supports that create a framed archway beneath the first story, which has a white façade and two windows with green shutters. The sketch at right is possibly the same building seen at lower right in 1943-51-127. It is a long building also with a steeply pitched shingled or tiled roof that is canted at the end. A clock face is visible in a triangular roof dormer. Above this is a bell-shaped cupola surmounting a very thin structure. The cupola has a tall finial with ball and weathervane ornament.
