 This collection comprises four travel sketches, watercolor on paper, made in Europe between 1902 and 1906. Abele was the first African-American to graduate from the University of Pennsylvania Department of Architecture (1902). The four watercolor sketches in this collection are the only surviving drawings that are clearly identified as drawn by Abele himself.

Individual holding records for this collection are available on the Philadelphia Architects and Buildings website.
