Course notes of students Albert Dreyfuss and Berthold Elsas, consisting of five pamphlet-size notebooks of course notes by Dreyfuss and one large bound set of course notes by Elsas.

Elsas's notebook contains printed leaflets from the Webschule Sindelfingen (Sindelfingen, Germany), which may be the school he was attending. His notebook and one of Dreyfuss's contain fabric swatches.
