This is perhaps the earliest of Sutherland's surviving sketchbooks, and it is of particular interest in that it dates from the period when he was just beginning to develop as a painter after his first visit to Pembrokeshire in 1934. Most, if not all, of the subjects appear to be Pembrokeshire themes and include landscapes, a swan in flight, goats, a fishing net hung out to dry, and a regatta at Solva in 1936. The sketchbook incorporates nine smaller pieces of paper, probably from a different sketchbook.
