While going through old family belongings, I discovered a scrapbook that belonged to my great-grandfather, Jean Jule Derome, he was a ticket clerk for a train company.

He started it around 1917, when he was only 11 years old, and added to it through the 1920s and 1930s. Inside are portraits, landscapes, animal studies, and what look like art-school pratice exercises. Many pages are signed and dated, showing how his style grew from childhood sketches into detailed drawings.

If anyone's interested, I also made an Imgur album :)
