Grist Milling, [between 1949 and 1951]
Signed by Leighton. Labeled: Grist mill, 7/50.
Grist Milling: Compositional Study [1] of 2, [between 1949 and 1951]
Three circular compositional studies with concepts for indoor milling scenes. The most detailed of these resembles Study 6 in composition (with the name sitting to the right of the milling wheel). To the left Leighton has made a list of objects: [illegible], scoop, sack, corn, wheat, mat (or "rat"?). In the upper right someone (not Leighton) has written "original Grist Mill Idea taken from inside" in graphite.
Grist Milling: Compositional Study [2] of 2, [between 1949 and 1951]
Two circular compositional studies with concepts for Grist Milling, both slightly different from the final image. The larger study has a wheelbarrow and a different tool assembly/arrangement from the final image. All elements are reversed from the final print.
Grist Milling (draft 1), [circa 1952]
Grist Milling (draft 2), [circa 1952]
Grist Milling (draft 3), [circa 1952]
Grist Milling (draft 4), [circa 1952]
Grist Milling (draft 5), [circa 1952]
Grist Milling: Preliminary Study [1] of 9, [between 1949 and 1951]
Grain bags, sieve, pail, and a paddle.
Two detailed sketches of grain/flour bags. A small round sieve with the words "light at edges" [?] beneath. A sketch of a pail and a paddle.
Grist Milling: Preliminary Study [2] of 9, [between 1949 and 1951]
Large, detailed sketch a windmill, although the sails are drawn in very lightly. Building is rounded, with a conical roof. Leighton probably saw this windmill during her travels in search of a functioning grist mill (related in her lengthy description, under "Writings - Grist Milling - Drafts 1 and 4" in this collection). However, no such building is incorporated into the final design.
Above is a sketch of a scoop. Top left corner is torn away.
Grist Milling: Preliminary Study [3] of 9, [between 1949 and 1951]
Sketches of two flour bags, a basket and a house on a hill.
Grist Milling: Preliminary Study [4] of 9, [between 1949 and 1951]
Grist Milling: Preliminary Study [5] of 9, [between 1949 and 1951]
Two barrels: one standing, one lying on its side. The upper left side of the page largely cut away.
Grist Milling: Preliminary Study [6] of 9, [between 1949 and 1951]
Full-page sketch of the interior of a mill. An outline of a figure sits to the right of what looks like a rotating millstone. The graphite on this page is very smudged.
Grist Milling: Preliminary Study [7] of 9, [between 1949 and 1951]
Indoor sketch of what appear to be stairs leading up the right side. In the middle, what looks like a large, rectangular mechanical sieve.
Grist Milling: Preliminary Study [8] of 9, [between 1949 and 1951]
Seems to be a long, spiraling staircase, such as would have spiraled upwards inside the grist mill. Verso: someone (not Leighton) has written "studies for original Grist Mill Idea".
Grist Milling: Preliminary Study [9] of 9, [between 1949 and 1951]
Cluster of three objects in the upper left corner. Labeled "middle sieve and basket, harpoon fork for hay".
Grist Milling: State 1, [between 1949 and 1951]
Numbered 1 in upper right corner.
Grist Milling: State 2, [between 1949 and 1951]
Numbered 2 in upper right corner.
Grist Milling: State 3, [between 1949 and 1951]
Numbered 3 in upper right corner.
