Norway 1866

"Norway" is the cover of a sketchbook by the English painter Charles George Lewis, dating back to 1866. The cover is made of dark brown leather with a paper label adhered to the front that features handwritten notes including the dates of the artist’s journey, “from Thelmi to Bergen, Sept 1st to 11th ’66.” The sketchbook is housed at the Art Institute of Chicago and serves as a record of Lewis's travels through Norway.
