Provenance

Edward Perry Warren, Esq. (1860–1928), Lewes House, Lewes, Sussex, and Fewacres, Farmington, ME, by December 28, 1928 [1];

To his godson and secretary, Charles John Murray West (1903–1947), Fewacres, Farmington, ME, and London, by October 12, 1933 [2];

Purchased from West, through Harold Woodbury Parsons, by The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Kansas City, MO, 1933.

NOTES:

[1] Warren owned a house in Farmington, Maine, known at the time as “Fewacres.”

Today the house is on the National Register of Historic Places and is called the Jacob Abbott House.

[2] West worked as Warren’s secretary at Fewacres and inherited the property at Warren’s death. See David Sox, Bachelors of Art: Edward Perry Warren and The Lewes House Brotherhood (London: Fourth Estate, 1991), 39; and Dyfri Williams, “‘And Broken Vases Widowed of Their Wine’: Athenian Pottery Fragments in the Haslemere Educational Museum, Sussex,” Mediterranean Archaeology 17 (2004): 110.

For West’s life dates, see “Parish Registers for Nottinghamshire; Reference: PR8621,” 1903, p. 38, Nottinghamshire, England, Church of England Baptisms, 1813-1922; and “General Register Office; United Kingdom,”  vol. 6b, p. 728, England and Wales, Civil Registration Death Index, 1916-2007, both digitized on Ancestrylibrary.com.

In 1934, West had an address in Beckenham, Kent (modern-day London).
