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. |
