Clare Museum recently received a donation to its collection of a drawing from Mr John Burton, Dunedin, New Zealand. The work is entitled ‘Brockenhurst, Sept 1859’, and it is a fine 19th century drawing attributed to William Burton. What was unusual about this acquisition was that it arrived by courier all the way from New Zealand.
The work is currently being assessed for conservation.
The Museum is very grateful for donations such as this one, that contribute to the history and heritage of County Clare. It is a welcome addition to the Burton collection, which has grown over the last few years.
