The file contains a scrapbook from 1905-1917 about the Galahad School. It includes lists of students, a history of the school, events, newspaper clippings, poetry, short essays, recitals, copies of the Galahad Signet newsletter and postcards and photographs. Wilder Penfield is listed as a student between 1905 and 1909, when he graduated. A note at the end states that the Galahad School was closed in 1917 and the teachers went to training camps.
Penfield, Wilder, 1891-1976Black leather-bound notebook combines Crane’s work and leisure interests.
The portraits of a woman, of a man with the initials L.F.C., and the table of diners are possible representations of Crane’s friends and family––many of whom are mentioned in his autobiography. The sketch of the seascape Llangrannog suggests a trip to Wales, otherwise undocumented in his autobiography.
The sketchbook's varied visual content also includes pigs, building exteriors, architectural details (cornices and panels), Greco-Roman figures, and action scenes where human figures engage with the land; they fish, farm, and gather hay. Additionally, the sketchbook contains a folded sheet of a heraldic lion design, and one page of notes.
The medium is pencil and ink on paper.
Crane, Walter, 1845-1915
