Montague Dawson interest - a correspondence of forty manuscript letters and notes to the marine artist from the same lady who signs herself 'Browne' or 'Brownie', c1920-24. The letters are in two sections, firstly a series of twenty-three hand written notes, all in the original envelopes and privately delivered to Dawson at Percy Street in London c1920, one envelope featuring a small unsigned pencil sketch of a sailing vessel. The second section of seventeen letters all date between April and July 1924 whilst Dawson was serving as the official artist on the South Seas Expedition on the S.Y. St. George where he was providing illustrated reports to The Graphic magazine. These letters (all but one in their original stamped envelopes) are far more detailed, up to twelve pages in length, and include two original photographs of the lady sent to Dawson during this Expedition.
