Extent	8 files
Title	Mural commissions undertaken by Annan during the war
Date	1942-1944
Description	This sub-series represents a large volume of material related to murals by Annan and the Leamington Spa Artists and Designers Group originally held in a blue portfolio folder marked 'Leamington Spa'. It includes photographs, brochures and printed material related to commissions at the British Restaurant, Leamington Spa and Finham Park Hostel, Coventry.
Notes	The Artists and Designers Group (Leamington) was established by members of the Artists' International Association (AIA). Out of all its regional groups, Leamington was one of the largest and most prolific collectives of the day, largely due to the fact that Leamington was the home of the Camouflage Directorate to which a large number of artists were deployed during the war. Both Annan and Tennant were active members of the group, with Annan undertaking a number of murals as part of the collective. The file has been split up into sub-folders to enable greater accessibility to its contents.
