Designs for staircase for 49 Princes Gate

Provenance

The history of this drawing before 1958 is uncertain. According to the Pennells, the drawing was in the Estate of Frances Leyland (1834-1910) in 1921. 1 There is no record of the date of its acquisition by W. C. Alexander or his daughters. However, if it was owned by Mrs Leyland earlier (that is, before her death in 1910) it would still fit with the subsequent information.

Exhibitions

There is no record of an exhibition.

Notes:
