In January’s report on the presentation by David McClay, the curator of the John Murray archive at the National Library of Scotland, I mentioned an exhibition of watercolours by Hugh Buchannan which is now moving to the John Martin Gallery in Albemarle Street from 18 September.
Buchannan’s paintings include details from a wide range of author material included within the archive from Byron, Austin, Sir Walter Scott, Irving and of course Paddy’s legacy.
The exhibition runs from 18 September to 10 October 2015 at the John Martin Gallery, 38 Albemarle St, London, W1S 4JG. Further details here.
You can download the catalogue as a pdf here.

I have often wondered at where the original book commissions by Murray for Paddy’s work were. I’m not sure the more famous, or indeed any of them exist. I have seen Murray’s work in the past in various locations and have never seen the paintings of the jacket/sleeve designs.
Do they exist?
A very good question. Would they be with Craxton’s archive? If such exists.
