3 Sketchbooks and 16 loose sketches, ca.1940-1950 3 v.

Burnett's sketchbooks contain a handful of pencil sketches focused mainly on portrait and figure studies in addition to many pages of handwritten notes. The 16 loose sketches in the collection are composed of a random series of art work completed in ink and watercolor. The sketches appear to be modeled after cartoon/comic-strip imagery. One skectch even depicts the cartoon character Mickey Mouse on skies. Some of the drawings are also accompanied by lighthearted poetry and collages.
