Sargent, John S, 1925-1950

This file largely concerns loan and reproduction matters. It includes a letter from Priscilla, Lady Norman, regarding portraits; an unsuccessful acquisition, a portrait of General Milne; the loan to the Museum of a sketch relating to the original subject for Sargent's large Memorial Hall picture, 'The Arrival of the Americans at the Front', lent with several other items, by Julie Helen Heyneman (illustrated at (122)); and the loan of a portrait of the Earl of Cavan. Other works by Sargent were declined. There are repeated exchanges with publications regarding unauthorised or incorrect reproductions. There is also regular discussion of conservation issues relating to 'Gassed'.
