Branwell’s Luddenden Foot notebook

Bronte Parsonage Museum

From the Treasure Trove: A typical page from Branwell’s Luddenden Foot notebook with a draft of a poem, notes about railway shares and caricatures, including one (at the bottom) of himself. Despite the fact this notebook was intended for the records of the trains and their cargoes passing through the station, it is almost entirely devoted to drafts of poems interspersed with sketches, doodles and caricatures.
