Photograph taken 1934/35, showing Brangwyn and Mackmurdo signing the Deed giving Walthamstow the Brangwyn Gift. The Gift consisted of British and Continental paintings, drawings, prints and sculpture of the 19th century, including works by Rossetti, Burne-Jones and other Pre-Raphaelite followers as well as a large collection of Brangwn’s own works. It was intended as “a memorial to the aims and achievements of William Morris and those who laboured with him” and forms the basis of the Gallery’s collection. Taken at Brangwyn’s house, The Jointure, Ditchling, Sussex.
