On the last pages is an obituary for Sir Owen Morshead from the College Magazine, No. 21 1976-1977

Four letters between Sir Owen Morshead & D. Pepys Whiteley about the deposit of photographs of the works of Thomas Kerrich [See MCPP/TK/4]. They debate the view by Kerrich of of the rear of the Pepys Building which shows water covering the Fellow Garden and conjecture what it could be.

(1) Photograph of the self-portrait of Thomas Kerrich (1774) sold at Sotheby’s in 1998
(2) Entry from the sales catalogue
(3) Letter from Dr Richard Luckett to the Bursar (Denis Murphy) making the case for the College to bid for the self portrait. The College were unsuccessful and it is now in the National Portrait Gallery

Pages 82-89 of Sotheby’s catalogue of The British Sale: British Paintings 1500-1850 (2000) pp 82-89 featuring the work of Thomas Kerrich.

The diaries, from at least 1904, were intended to be read by posterity. The diary was 'commonly written up to date in great haste, often after a lapse of many days, and never revised or corrected at all' (Percy Lubbock).

Benson suffered two nervous breakdowns. He managed to keep writing in his diary during the first breakdown which lasted from 1907 to 1909. There is a very full description of the onset of the second breakdown in 1917 [see MCPP/ACB/1/167 and 168]. There is then a gap in the diaries - it is blank for the last five months of 1917 and for the period 15 June 1918 to 4 August 1922, apart from a few jottings in 1920. 13 pages covering 30 January to 29 June 1921 are written in the back of his 'Subjects' notebook

Printout of a drawing of Jacob Mountain (1776) and photograph of a portrait of William Heath (Fellow) 1777 by Thomas Kerrich. Also two pages giving information about the paintings.
