Part of Papers of Robert Calverley Trevelyan and Elizabeth Trevelyan

Still lifes, including fruit, books, flowers; sketch of landscape [perhaps from the garden of the Shiffolds]; portraits.

Some sketches are on the back of three loose pages headed 'Fascism in Practice - Proposed Exhibition', outlining plans for the transfer of an exhibition due to open in Paris in February to London and perhaps Bristol, Manchester and other cities. The exhibition is to be divided between a historical section on the rise of fascism and one on "Fascism the Enemy of Culture". Gives names of the 'executive committee' (Chairman: Professor P.M. S. Blackett: Treasurer: Lord Ivor Churchill; Secretary: Ralph Wright; other members such Wickham Steed, Princess Antoine Bibesco; Robert Boothby MP, Amabel Williams-Ellis) and 'general committee' (including Harold Laski, Kingsley Martin, George Lansbury, Storm Jameson and Virginia Woolf).
