Title	Photographs of 'Magda' for King's College Library, Newcastle
Date	1959
Description	Three black and white photographs of Tennant's figurative sculpture 'Magda' commissioned by the architects Easton and Robertson for the King's College Library, Newcastle. A makeshift paper frame has been placed around one of the photographs. Two photographs are annotated on the reverse by Tennant 'Magda – Durham University Library'.
Notes	Annan was also commissioned by Easton and Robertson to make three mosaic panels for the external wall of the Library. King's College was originally a college within Durham University, but gained independent status in 1963 to become the University of Newcastle.
