Papers, 1853-1967.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/34015062

Letters, financial papers, printed material, pictures, and autographs relating to the Daffarn and Mangle families. Numerous correspondents include many persons active in the artistic and literary worlds. Many letters and pictures, as well as a sketchbook and album of drawings, stories, and poetry relate to William George Daffarn, landscape painter of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. A diary (1912-1913) concerns his son Maurice Daffarn's life and work in Mumbwa and Namwala, Northern Rhodesia as an employee of the British South Africa Company. Printed material chiefly relates to Maurice and includes items from his school days at Cambridge University and Winchester College. A lecture program from 1928-1929 is signed by the author Gilbert Keith Chesterton. Pictures include: a signed etching by W.G. Daffarn; Frederick Thomas Dalton's signed drawing of Anatole France, 1913; signed photos of the eminent educators Hubert Murray Burge, and Montague John Randall; and eight photos from Maurice's duty in Northern Rhodesia.
