Forty photographs, 1880s-?1930s, formerly in the possession of Edwin John, more than half of which originally belonged to Gwen John and represent friends and models; the remainder, which represent members of the John and Nettleship families, could derive either from Gwen John's estate or that of Augustus John. Also included are prints made from negatives of the same provenance.
