This sketchbook probably contained fifty-three or fifty-four sheets. The pages are numbered on the "a" side in Roman numerals at bottom right. Some sheets were sold separately in the 1930s and have been identified based on stains from an oil-binding agent or rust spots left when the sketchbook was unbound.
