Scope and content:

A pencil drawing with black ink wash on paper by Thomas Millington, circa 1840. The drawing consists of four sheets of paper, overlaid and attached together.

The drawing depicts William & Mary's Historic Campus, including the Brafferton, Wren Building, and President's House. Also featured is the original Lord Botetourt statue with fencing surrounding it.
