Scope and Contents
From the Collection:
The collection contains four bound sketchbooks filled with drawings by Swatkins. The town, sea and landscapes depict scenes of Cornish villages and coastal areas. There is also a World War I era permit book, issued in England to John Alfred Swatkins. These types of permits allowed the holder to be outside during prohibited hours, to photograph or sketch in prohibited areas, and to enter prohibited or restricted areas. The collection also contains a letter from noted British author Marie Corelli in Stratford-on-Avon, complimenting Swatkins on his work and inquiring if it was ever used in the London press or by publishers.
