* McKie (Helen, 1889-1957). Hitler`s Brown House. A series of sixteen pencil, (and one pen and ink with wash), sketches, made in Hitler`s Brown House in Munich by Helen McKie in 1931, the drawings on large sheets of artist`s sketch paper pasted into a later album, contemp. typed list of contents tipped in at front with a contemp. pencil note by Helen McKie tipped to verso `Sketched in Hitler`s Brown House Munich by special permission of Hitler`s aide-de-camp Bruelenen - I was the only woman ever allowed to sketch here`, most sheets approx. 41 x 26 cm and with perforated left edge, some evidence of a few notes to versos, a little marginal browning, chipping and creasing, bookplate of Mark Dineley, modern buckram, gilt-title spine (incorrectly dated 1918), folio The sketches which largely have pencil captions and annotations by the artist are: 1) Entrance to the Brown House, flanked by two Nazi Guards; 2) Sketch of tablet in centre eagle on Nazi sign (vignette); 3) Sketch portrait of Adolf Hitler from the portrait hanging in the Council Chamber; 4) Sketch of two Nazis with their banner in the HQ, signed by the artist; stamp of The Graphic to verso; 5) A Nazi saluting whilst standing outside the door of the Council Chamber with banner of Munich Contingent visible; 6) Sketch interior of the room of the Committee of Control with three Nazis in conversation; 7) Three smiling Nazis with their beer tankards in the beer hall under the Brown House; 8) Standards of the various sections of the National Socialists in the entrance hall with a standing Nazi, signed Helen McKie; Graphic stamp to verso; 9) As above, but unsigned; 10) Sketch of two helmeted police outside the Brown House controlling a disturbance created by civilians; 11) A Nazi carrying a banner; 12) Sketch of Nazi procession with banners; 13) Sketch of Nazi carrying sidedrum (sheet size cut down); 14) Sketch of two Nazis opening curtain to a civilian; 15) Vignette sketch of the Nazi standard with colours noted; 16) A Berlin sentry with detail to one side of a back view showing belt, button and bayonette; 17) Council Chamber with two Nazis and a civilian, showing the tablet on the wall in sketch 2 (pen, ink and wash drawing). Helen Madeline McKie (1889-2004) was educated at Tiffin Girls School, Kingston on Thames, and Lambeth School of Art, where she studied composition and painting under Philip Connard. She then became an illustrator and permanent member of staff to `Bystander` Magazine from 1915 to 1929. She was also a contributing artist to The Graphic, Sphere, Autocar and Queen publications. McKie became well known for her drawings of military figures during World War One and corresponded with soldiers in active service across the world. In 1931, she paid a visit to the Brown House, Munich, when on the strength of a letter of introduction to Hitler, she was allowed to sketch Nazi officials. During World War II, she was commissioned by Lord Lloyd to make sketches of Navy personnel and warships. In 1943, she painted `The Upper War Room` at Admiralty, Whitehall for presentation to Sir Winston Churchill, who was in the picture. She produced commissioned work for the Southern Railway, mural designs for amongst others, the Ritz Hotel in London, several Butlins holiday camps, Ford motorcars, the French government Tourist Office and Selfridges. The Victoria and Albert Museum holds an archive of her papers, drawings, photographs, and ephemera, the gift of John Fraser, her nephew. Among the papers is an illustrated article from The Graphic, concerning McKie`s sketches of Nazi officials (1931) and it seems likely that the two signed drawings here present with Graphic stamps to verso were used for that article. Nonetheless, this remains an extraordinary and unique artistic record of Hitler`s Nazi Party Headquarters by a British woman artist. Provenance: Mark Dineley, well-known arms and armour collector and bibliophile, by descent. (1)
