The Ema and Arno on a hill sketch, with a red-chalk device
Country south of Florence — Montici, the Ema and the Arno — beside a red-chalk mechanical study
A faint topographical sketch names the river Ema, the height of Montici and the Arno in mirror script, mapping the country south of Florence. At the upper right a red-chalk study of a hinged, bracket-like device is drawn across the terrain. Several further lines of mirror-writing at the head of the sheet are not included in the transcription, and the drawing is very lightly executed.

Ema, Montici and the Arno named
The sketch is captioned with the names Ema, Montici and Arno, placing the river Ema and the height of Montici in relation to the Arno in the country south of Florence.
Red-chalk study of a bracketed device
At the upper right, in red chalk, are two small studies of a hinged, bracket-like mechanical element drawn over the topography. The transcription does not state their purpose.
