Carriage and Figures (from Sketchbook)

John William Casilear

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a piece of paper with some writing and a small drawing. The paper is white with a thin black border. In the top center of the page, there is a small black and white drawing of a horse-drawn carriage. The carriage has two wheels and appears to have one horse. The carriage faces to the right. On the bottom left of the page, there is some handwritten text. The text is written vertically and includes a few numbers and letters. The numbers "37" appears twice on the page, once at the bottom right corner and once at the bottom of the written text. The written text is difficult to read but appears to be some sort of notes or labels. The background of the image is plain white.
