Also, a single sheet headed 'The Child Enthroned' dated 1 Apr 1903. Appears to be a humorous 'letter' (addressee not indicated) signed 'Elinor Pugh' (?). The letter refers to the artist Frank Brangwyn ('he has begun the panel & is waiting for it to dry before going on with it') and to the artist Selwyn Image: 'Tell Smack he is not to have any grumpy old letters to write on Thursday evening & also that he is not to spend too many hours upstairs after dinner with Selwyn Image Esq. F. P. as I want to go through the alphabet with him [illegible].' At the head of the letter is a watercolour pen and ink drawing of a man with angel's wings stood at a lectern.

(4) Photocopy cutting from the Enfield Gazette (26 Nov 1992): 'Have a twirl with this Art Nouveau'. Refers to exhibition at Forty Hall Museum commemorating 50th anniversary of the death of (Edmonton-born) Arthur Heygate Mackmurdo.
