Note
that this sketchbook was executed during the last stages of planning and indeed
during the execution of the Stations, in January 2007. It is here reproduced page by page
and as with the Moleskine preparatory sketches, was done
with no regard at this stage to the actual order.
Roman numerals refer to my numbering, I to XXI.
See http://www.villaparasol.com/SXSAxxi.htm#list for that ordering.
