OBJECT HISTORY

This is one of a group of 134 drawings acquired by the donor at the end of the summer term of 1912 at Kingston Art School, where Archibald Knox was a teacher. She retrieved them from Knox's wastepaper basket and donated them to the V&A in 1969. The designs were probably unaccepted submissions to Liberty's department store. That same year, Knox abruptly broke off contact with the art schools and Liberty's and returned to the Isle of Man.
