Lot Description
A group of Castle Bromwich-related ephemera. Comprising: a portrait of Ida Newport, Countess Bradford (d.1894), depicted half-length in three-quarter profile facing to dexter, oil on artist's board, signed "Whitney" lower left, inscribed verso in pencil "Ida Newport 1878", 20.75" x 15.5", in gilt slip; a lithographic print of "Viscount Newport" (the Earl of Bradford), Vincent Brooks Day & Son Lithographers, image size including caption 13" x 7.5", (33cm x 19cm), in oak frame (unglazed); an unframed garden plan of "CASTLE BROMWICH HALL WARWICKSHIRE" by Harry W. Weedon, dated 1907, 24" x 35" (at fault); and a bundle of documents and correspondence relating to the Bradford family, including letters to and from Earl of Bradford, some addressed from Weston Park.
