What is it?!!? Name That Scroll!?!?!? Vincent Van Gogh Biography?? Manuscript + Artwork!??! Part 5 of 8
My parents purchased a house for a rental property a couple years back. I helped go thru the house and sort what the previous owner had left and this was probably the most interesting item we found!
This scroll (as I call it) contains VERY old French and sketches of paintings by Vincent Van Gogh and appears to be a biography and maybe dialogue like a play??
We have asked a few people what this thing is exactly and no one has been able to say what it is for sure!!!
The first 2 or 3 feet of this has been cut and taped back together but the rest of it is a continuous piece of paper. That tells me that this was intended to be a book maybe?!?!?!
SOOO...i'm asking for your help steemit!! What is it?! A story?! A play?! A biography? Fan Art?! A manuscript?? Help me out here!!
I'm going to break this up into 8 parts because there are 86 pictures and that's just too much for one post!!
Below are 10 or so more photos of the scroll!! PLEASE let me know if you know what this is!!!!!!!!
UPDATE
@fknmayhem has been more than helpful with identifying this!! He was aware of a book by Robert Morel that references a manuscript written by Noel Emile-Laurent!!!
We both think that this is THAT manuscript or at least a copy of it!!!
Update TWO
I have Emailed the Van Gogh museum in the Netherlands!! I'm waiting for a reply!!!
Update Three
I received a response from the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam but unfortunately it wasn't the response i was hoping for! They sent me a link of their Authenticity verification page that is for things BY Van Gogh not things by other artists ABOUT Van Gogh so i think i might be at a dead end!!
SO AGAIN I NEED YOUR HELP STEEMIT!!!
Please let me know what you think this is in the comments!!!

I have no idea what it is, but what an amazing find no matter what, so unique.
Right?!?
The drawings are certainly reminiscent of van Gogh. They may be lithograph prints? On vangoghgallery.com I found one of the images from your scroll:
