| These eighteen little pen and ink drawings by Maud Sherman 
may have been assembled as part of an application to attend the 
Vancouver School of Decorative and Applied Arts.
They were donated to me by Mrs. Joan Dendys, who had 
acquired them directly from June Sherman, Maud's niece. The drawings are variously 
signed M.S., M.R.S., M. Sherman, and Maud Sherman. None of them are titled on the 
front, but I discovered that many were titled on the back. After carefully removing 
the drawings from the backing sheet, titles found included Retrospect, A Dream, 
Savary Island, Venice, Sunrise on Grouse Mountain, Time, Admonition, A Life's Bather, 
The Voice, and A Picnic. A few also had little sketches of other designs 
that weren't finished. |
