Vertical sheet with multiple sketches. At top left, a wood-hulled sailboat is seen in shallow water, viewed from stern. At lower left a running fountain is seen from the left. The fountain consists of a central pedestal which is decorated on the visible side by a dolphin with prominent scales spouting water from its nose and mouth, while its tail is raised vertically to support a smaller bowl above which fills with water from the spout above and dribbles over the rim into the large basin below. The basin has a small, bowl-like projection at the corner, possibly providing water for animals. The final sketch at right is the façade of a late Renaissance building with only its left side visible. The façade consists of a large arched central pediment thrust up in the center and supported by a continuous engaged column. A pendentive-like element sweeps down from the pediment to unite with the lower wing of the façade which is topped by a ball finial. At bottom right, Roman numerals have been sketched: C D D C L X X I X, which are present on a date plaque on the building's façade.

Recto of vertical sheet with sketches of two sailboats in shallows. The boat in the upper half of the sheet has many of its components fully rendered: the masst, boom with wrapped sail, rigging, rudder, wooden hull and dinghy are all identifiable. The boat's name is written across the side of the ship closest to the bow: IKWEI. The boat in the lower half of the sheet is rendered in less detail and seems further from the viewer. It is very similar to the boat above. A figure stands in the water to the right of the boat.

Verso of sheet has a single sketch of a small rod with holes for adjustment. This is possibly part of a navigational instrument?

Horizontal sheet bound vertically in album. A view of a fleet of warships (man-o-war) which face away from the viewer with the stern of the ships visible. Only the ship at the far left is visible from the side. It and the boat closest to it carry the flag of Great Britain. Many of the ships are concealed from full view by fog or smoke.

Horizontal sheet bound vertically in album. Depicted are warships on the ocean, possibly related to 1943-51-96 and 1943-51-94. The ships are entirely shrouded by smoke or fog. The scene has a chaotic feel, and it is not possible to discern the ships beyond those in the foreground.

Horizontal sheet tipped vertically into binding depicting many large warships surrounded and shrouded by clouds of smoke, likely from cannon and gun fire. In the foreground two ships are well rendered, each carrying an identicaly striped flag. In the center background of the scene, sails and the flag of another ship emerge from the smoke. This ship carries a flag similar to that of the United Kingdom of Great Britain, with the cross of St. George laid over the crosses of St. Andrew and St. Patrick. The ships all have double masts and full, billowing sails with guns drawn.

Vertical sheet depicting conical masonry tower pierced at intervals by small rectangular window openings, surmounted by a four-armed wood structure meant to catch the wind. This structure moves on a central pivot that seems to anchor to the back of the structure. Below the arms is a walkway that encircles the tower and is visibly supported by timber buttresses from underneath.

Vertical sheet illustrating three masonry façades, clockwise from top left: View from the rear of a "crow's step" or "trap gevel" masonry building façade. The façade has been reinforced vertically at the center with corbelling. Directly below this is a square opening from which projects out a square rod, ending in a curved or angled flange. Marked D (inscribed in circle) and noted as Anthwerp [sic]. Next is a view of the "crow's step" or "trap gevel" masonry façade bearing a date marker plate that reads 1580. This is possibly the façade of the same building in the previous sketch, but at the opposite end. The façade has many steps creating a strong, triangular shape. A single string course separates the upper six steps from those below. Within this space is a square opening and what appears to be the face of a male figure in stone. Below the datemarker are three window openings, and possibly the decorative ends of tie rods. This sketch is noted as: E (inscribed in circle), Back (underlined), Antwerp / Aug 17th 1887. The final sketch is marked F (inscribed in circle) and noted as: Front (underlined). It is the view of another 'trapgevel' masonry façade, though much more ornamental with the addition of scroll work elements that end each of the three steps, in a fashion typical of Northern Dutch and Flemish cities. The top step projects high and is completed with a projecting cornice cap. Directly below this seems to be a symbol, a cross inscribed within a circle, possibly indicating a religious edifice. It is possible that sketches E and F are the opposite façades of this building, while sketch D is the back of the façade illustrated in sketch E.

View of two or three-story buildings nestled in the foreground of a tall Romanesque style masonry tower. The buildings are crowded together in the character of a medieval settlement. All have steeply pitched roofs and chimneystacks that punctuate their rooflines. Only the upper section of the tower is visible but the visible façade contains two round-arched windows consisting of a double-lancet and trefoil format. Immediately above this is a blind arcade. This is separated from the next story above by a projecting cornice. The tower has four narrow lancet window openings directly below the roofline. The roofline is broken slightly as it meets the cornice. A figural finial, possibly a rooster or hen, surmounts the roof.

Vertical sheet with three sketches of details from buildings in Strasburg, clockwise from top left:view of a roofline corner with a slender chimneytop behind. The chimneytop has blind panels interrupted by a projecting cornice, above which are two round-arched openings on the two visible façades. Above this is another projecting cornice surmounted by two gables on either face; at right is a detail of a waterspout visible on a building façade. The gutter projects from the building and a second piece in the shape of a dragon's head creates the mouth from which the water sprays. This piece is tethered to the wall of the building by an intricate s-link chain and ornamental bracket. Below is a three-story building with a prominent, tiled gable roof and multiple chimneys punctuating its roofline.

Vertical sheet with four sketches, clockwise from upper right: dormer; (A) a holy water bucket from a church; a half-timbered façade; (B) a gable with water-shed. The dormer has a double arched-top window opening and the roof above the dormer is flat. The holy water bucket is hung by a twisted bale handle on a projecting bracket of copper or wrought iron made of c-scrolls in a Baroque style. The buliding façade at bottom left is the least refined, and is sketched close to the building as the area under the roof tiles and eaves is visible. The gable with water-shed is more delicately sketched, showing two bulding rooflines, the one in the background having a projecting eave, visible timber construction, and small window openings punctuating its façades.

Vertical sheet illustrating a building with a tall, slender tower and small clock in a projecting gable of the structure's main façade. There is a deep eave projecting over a double-glazed casement window with shutters opened wide. Above this window and below the clock face is another, smaller window opening at the attic level. Behind this rises the tower with louvered openings visible on two sides, and is surmounted by a faceted cupola with a ball and spike finial.

Vertical sheet with view looking into a narrow street framed on either side by walls of buildings. At right there is only a view under the eaves of the building. The buildings at left are rendered in greater detail, with particular attention paid to the intricate roofline fo the city hall building. The roofs are all steeply pitched, broken occasionally by chimneys and finials. The city hall's façade projects wider than the building and its roofline ends in a "crow-step" or "trapgevel" gables with scrolls, typical of German and Dutch Reniassance architecture. The stpes have three ball and spike finials visible, while the central step has a finial that terminates in a crescent moon.

Vertical sheet with sketch of a cluster of half-timbered buildings, possibly for storing hay or grains. The single-story building in the foreground has deep eaves and a single dormer with casement window opening. A larger but similar building in the mid-ground has a buttressed eave, three window openings and a small chimney. At the rear of these two buildings is a multistory masonry tower with steep, tiled roof with small windows visible below the roofline.
