Scope and Content

Printed scans of the pencil roughs (MG/02/02), including printed text, annotated with editorial comments in different hands. As with MG/02/02, this set of layouts does not include the endpapers or cover. Pages have been stuck together using sticky tape.

There is some indication that the pencil roughs of MG/02/02 were modified after this first layout was produced. For example one of the athletes on page 30 is in a different position to the pencil rough, but it is possible to see on the pencil rough that this figure has been erased and then re-drawn. This set of layouts includes a spread for a 'pirates' page, which includes a printed scan of a pencil rough, but this page does not appear in either MG/02/01 or MG/02/02. Not included in this set of layouts is the 'school days' spread, which is included in the pencil roughs of MG/02/02, and in the layouts of MG/02/04 - email correspondence (MG/05/02) confirms that the 'pirates' spread was replaced with the 'school days' spread.
