Barnett Freedman (British 1901-1958) - Lyons Tea Rooms Coronation designs, 1953, two sheets, 104cm x 155cm, unframed. Note: Barnett Freedman had previously worked with J. Lyons and Co, overseeing the production of the fine series of Lyons Lithographs in the 1940s. He was, therefore, a natural choice when the tea rooms needed a set of uniform designs for their windows to celebrate the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. Intended to be cut up and mounted in the windows as decorative bunting and colour displays, these are obviously a rare survival.

Furth - 'Yale Glee Club. Concertgebouw', poster, [Director: Marshall Bartholemew] Amsterdam: Impresario Ernst Krauss, 1953? 85cm x 62cm, unframed Note: under the direction of Marshall Bartholemew, the Yale Glee Club raised performance standards, took on more ambitious repertoire, and toured widely. By the time of his retirement, the Yale Glee Club was internationally renowned. This would have been one of the last tours under his direction, prior to his retirement in 1953.
