- Description
- This series contains examples of Felicia Browne's artwork, including three sketchbooks filled in between 1925-1936. The first two contain sketches of labourers and working class men in London whilst the third includes sketches from Browne's time in Spain shortly before her death.

There are also instances of her design work (see TGA 201023/1/135-170) including three sketches which may be preparatory sketches for Browne's entry for the competition to find a design for the Tolpuddle Martyrs Medal, held in 1934.
