Dear Julian Tregoning,

Thank you for your enquiry. I have checked our database and our card index, but I’m afraid I can’t find any record of a Mr Strick. If you have any more information about the watercolour, or when it is thought to have been given to the museum, we will check our records again. I am glad to hear that you have enjoyed your visits to the Museum and am sorry not to be able to be of more immediate assistance.

With best wishes,

Charlotte Topsfield
Assistant Curator (Prints & Drawings)

I understand that you have a water-colouring (?) by Augustus John that was donated to the Museum by a Mr STRICK. As I wonder if this Mr Strick was my grandfather or perhaps his father, please could you be kind and e-mail me with as much information as you have about Mr Strick and where he lived, etc.

I was last in the Museum in late 2010 when I looked at your wonderful collection of Nantgarw and Swansea porcelain and your superb collection of paintings and water-colours. I much enjoyed seeing them and very much hope to make another visit in 2014.

With best wishes to the Museum team - Julian Tregoning
