About this record
- Content
This volume is a bound notebook with handwritten notes and sketches in pencil by George Nathaniel Curzon. The notes mostly relate to Curzon's travels through Persia in 1889-90. The notebook begins with general notes; later folios resemble diary entries, with date headings included from folio 36 onwards. Most of the folios have a vertical line drawn down the centre in pencil or ink; these lines do not represent column divisions, as the notes are written across the lines rather than in columns.
Included with the notebook is a folded piece of paper with the printed address 'Clyde House, London Road, East Grinstead.'
