1920

Oddments this week and next: images which have no linking theme apart from our loving them and their having some vague relation to Persephone Books. Today Sunday Afternoon by Leonard John Fuller (1891-1973), undated but the young woman has a kind of Vera Brittain look which would place the painting at 1916/1918 (also the boy’s father is conspicuously absent and the older woman is reading the newspaper quite anxiously).
