Diebenkorn's pencil-work is terrific; these may all have been done as two-minute poses and are very fluid. Kelly's Cove Press paperback

1950D7341Worsthorne Lancashire c. 1950. Hardcover. Fine. Black white red and gilt decorative Christmas paper over boards; 185 x 273 mm; pp. 83 handwritten in ink with more than 20 drawings and watercolors including vignettes decorative flourishes and full-page scenes. A florid orderly feminine hands records a very personal account of her childhood memories and family history composed in hindsight and lamenting "the present world. of H. Bombs Nuclear Tests Atomic Secrets Radioactivity planes hurling through the air with deafening noise. The levity of my sketch Wordsorth forgive for like you 'Have I not reason to lament what man has made of man'" She also references "peace time" making it clear that she has some familiarity with war and this is perhaps why the entire volume is a careful balancing act between a retreat to the past told cheerfully as though to a child and a more somber rumination on her present. The artwork is invariably accomplished -- ranging from lovely floral themes animals portraits of children and one of Queen Elizabeth landscapes and family houses to somewhat fantastical renderings of human forms floating in the air. She also carefully draws and colors two pictorial maps of locales she recalls from her youth and tips on 2 photographs b/w silver gelatin prints of her grandmother's shawl and bonnet and 1 photograph of a broadside advertising the auction of her uncle's John Crowther sheep and sheep dogs. John her fathers younger brother died in 1887 after being struck by lightning. The family sells his home Jacksons House in Worsthorne in 1888 and moves north leaving their convent education for the Home Farm of Ormrod House belonging to her great grandmother. Photographs were printed in Cheriton Folkestone. Locations on her maps include the River Douglas Rufford Parbold Lathom House Ormskirk Scarisbrick Hall Ainsdale Birkdale Crossens Greeves Hall and more. Poignant learned and quite beautiful. <br/><br/> hardcover books

Original miniature self-portrait painting by Roosevelt family member Maud Sutton Pickhard (née Fortescue 1880-1961), in a most elegant daytime "best" dress, signed MSP by the artist. As she looks fairly young in this image, had a London address, and at the time was still using the title "Mrs," the painting was made no earlier than 1900 and presumably in 1908 or earlier while she was still married. Inscribed in manuscript to verso "No 1. Title: A Study in Silver. Artist: (Mrs) Maud F Sutton Pickhard R.B.A. Flat 8, 31 Buckingham Gate S.W." Mounted in a large oval pendant with copper frame over glass, expertly crafted with six copper pins securing the cloth covered cardstock mount into the frame, measuring approximately 8 x 7 x 0,5 cm. Contained in a recent purpose-made clamshell box with foam padding for protection. Very slight age-toning to frame, otherwise in Very Good to Near Fine, original condition. A remarkable miniature oval self-portrait pendant with numerous illustrious Roosevelt connections, the artist herself being a published female author, little-known for her skill as a painter. The artist was a published female author born into the prominent Roosevelt family through rather scandalous circumstances. She is first cousin to President 'Teddy' Roosevelt, and first cousin once removed to Miss Eleanor Roosevelt. She is also twice connected to President Franklin D. Roosevelt, through lineage as fifth cousins once removed, and more closely through Eleonore's marriage to Franklin. Maud Sutton Pickhard née Fortescue (born 25 August 1880 in Manhattan, died 1961) was the illegitimate child of U.S. Congressman Robert Barnwell Roosevelt, Sr. (1829-1906) and his Irish immigrant mistress Marion Theresa "Minnie" O'Shea Fortescue (1849-1902).
