Old Postcards from Apple Limeway

-

 Here are some very old postcards of Apple Limeway, the setting of most events in The Summer Diary of a Lady Artist by Ann Fonsweer.



Presumably Ann knew these places well, and though she was an artist her drawings refer to her surroundings only tangentially.



 



 

The Summer Diary of a Lady Artist is available from Amazon.co.uk and Amazon.com.

New drawings by Ann Fonsweer discovered in the Two Sisters Publishing "archive"

 The "archive" is actually a large drawer in an old house in in Edinburgh. Ann Fonsweer, who we know lived in Apple Limeway near Cambridge one eventful summer, was skilled in strange ink pen drawings, and here are two of the newly discovered ones (both untitled but both dated 1935). Her style is unmistakable both in subject matter and execution. One copy of the published book was also found in this archive.   A reprint of The Summer Diary of a Lady Artist is available from Amazon.co.uk and Amazon.com , ISBN 978-1-4466-7410-9
