General Physical Description note
Double sided sheet of notes, with one small caricature, likely of Ernest Leverson (identified by Margaret Stetz, August 2024). These notes from Beerbohm for Ada Leverson include very specific recommendations like "no dado," "all paint white," and "no pictures on the walls - perhaps one or two mirrors." One side of the page appear to be recommendations for a drawing room, while the opposite side is labeled "Back room."
