Lot Essay
Mary Fedden and Julian Trevelyan married in 1951, shortly after she moved to Durham Wharf on the Thames at Chiswick where she would live and work for the rest of her life. Together, the two artists travelled extensively, to many varied locations in Africa, India and the Middle East, as well as on the Continent and to different parts of Britain. Fedden would return from these trips armed with sketchbooks filled with a wealth of ideas and information.
