Ann Fonsweer

 This photo seems to show the location of the Ann Fonsweer Archive. (Ann Fonsweer wrote what was to become The Summer Diary of a Lady Artist , an account of revenge and cougar love.) The "archive" was actually a drawer in a lawyer's office in Edinburgh. Ann Fonsweer Archive, 195? It is thought that the office was in the rooms above the shops, the ones with the arched windows. It was in this archive that new drawings, unseen for decades were discovered. There was also the strange discovery of a cut-out hand a little smaller than an inch in size:   It could be that Fonsweer used templates for some of her drawings, because there are quite a few figures with hands very similar to the one shown above. Presumably the actual template (the hand shaped hole) has been lost, but she, or someone for her, kept what had been cut out.

 In the Summer Diary of a Lady Artist there is an entry for the 25th August 1935: "There is a river just over a mile away. Sometimes, very very early in the morning, I bathe in that river."    The drawing on the opposite page is incongruous. And there is something wrong with the arms. Maybe a drawing mistake impossible to correct on an ink sketch?  The photo was taken in the 1920s but the fashion in bathing costumes changed slowly one hundred years ago. Presumably the river mentioned on the first page of the diary is the same as the one she "bathes" in. The Summer Diary of a Lady Artist is available from Amazon.co.uk and Amazon.com .
