A typescript was also found with the mounted images, relating to the same British history project and have been housed seperately in Box 2 (15). File also includes a youthful self-portrait of Edith, drawn by herself, and a fragile typescript story featuring pencil and chalk sketches by Edith on the reverse showing life drawing studies.
