I have bought what might be a Fabian de Castro at a local auction. Could I share an image for your thoughts?

Beautiful! I love it. It ties in with his description of his childhood.

Hi Flora - In your grandfather's papers is there any mention of Fenella Lovell? She was a model and a friend of Augustus John from 1907 and lived in Paris from 1908/9. She claimed to be a Gypsy.

Thanks, Flora, for sharing these wonderful things! May I ask who was your great-grandfather? Another friend of de Castro (and Cole) was the artist Augustus John who did a portrait of Fabian in c1911

Hi Mike, my great-grandfather was Royall Tyler (https://www.doaks.org/resources/bliss-tyler-correspondence/annotations/royall-tyler). I have manuscripts based on his early life story.

He was one of my great-grandfather's best friends. He is even a witness on my grandfather's birth certificate. I come across things if his periodically. Wonderful character!

Dear Patricia,

Thank you for the kind words. These are my own possessions. I created the page because I know most of them have never been seen by the outside world and I wanted to share them.
