A lost sketchbook belonging to Vincent van Gogh includes 65 never-before-seen sketches.
The sketchbook - which is set to be published today - contains drawings from his most significant period while he was living in France.
During this time, he was suffering from mental health problems which famously led to the artist cutting off his ear.
However, he also produced some of his most famous paintings in this period.
The discovery was made by retired University of Toronto professor Bogomila Welsh-Ovcharov.
She was asked by an art scholar in France to look at an album and was left stunned by the discovery.
When I opened it up, the first thing I said was, 'No, unbelievable!'" Welsh-Ovcharov told CBC News.
"The first drawing that I took out and held in my hands, it was a moment of total mystical experience: 'Oh my goodness, this is impossible!'" (snip)
The notebook was an old business ledger given to the artist in 1888 by local cafe owners.
He decided the blank pages were ideal as a sketchbook for his drawings due to their high quality.
