Sketchbook has been only partly used, with many empty pages. It has also been started from both ends, with earlier material pages 1 to 19 or 20, later material from page 21 to the end. Suggested dates for this sketchbook are based on the fact that Mabel McIndoe (Hill) moved to Britain from New Zealand after the war (1945). She is known to have visited Kersey in 1934 and may have revisited it during her later sojourn in Britain. One page (E-518-019) with a list of paintings sold to a Christchurch dealer is dated 11 August 1943. Mabel McIndoe visited Tossa del Mar in 1952.
