Art in the Archives: Gallery 3 : Pleople, Places & Nature
This eclectic gallery includes:
- Japanese prints whose presence in the Shipping Federation archive shows that the unexpected can be found in archives;
- quirky paintings of unknown origin in the papers of Jack Jones (1913-2009), trade union leader (see Gallery 2 :Faces for a portrait of Jones);
- works by Frank Patterson (1871-1952), the renowned depictor of British places for a cycling audience;
- works by William Henry Stokes (1894-1977), trade unionist and communist of Coventry;
- children's drawings from the papers of Frances Moira MacLean, who was involved with a charity supporting children visiting prisons;
- a view of part of the Warwick campus as it may once have been.
