Wondering if you’ve come across anything on artist Theyre Lee-Elliott? I volunteer in a charity shop and we’ve been given what is said to be his self portrait. Trying to find out anything about it. Thank you.

Hi Annie, apologies for the delay. And thank you for your comment and question. I have, yes. He was born David Lee Theyre Elliott in Lewes in 1903. How exciting to receive his self portrait in the shop.

Ah, THIS is the Bloomsbury group. Thank you for explaining, Victoria. I wonder what books they were reading. Certainly W.E.B. DuBois and Ida B. Wells, yes? Serendipity of place and time...just like us, here on Substack!
