Cradle of Genius[Yeats, W.B.] Schwabe (R). Original drawing, pen-and-ink and wash, 14 ½ ins x 8 ins, signed, in an oak frame, showing the House in Woburn Buildings, London, where W.B. Yeats took rooms in 1896. WBY's study was the room with the large window, directly above Sawyer's cobbler's shop on the ground floor, looking out on a pedestrian court where there was no traffic, within reach of Euston Station and the British Museum. Yeats first occupied these rooms in spring 1896, mainly to facilitate his affair with Olivia Shakespeare. He decorated the rooms with tall candlesticks and prints by Blake and Beardsley, and entertained friends there on Monday evenings. He came and went to Dublin, Coole Park and other places, and sometimes lent the property to friends, including Maud Gonne and her daughter Iseult, but he did not finally give up the property until 1920, when he had become a father. It was there that he truly grew to be a man. He evidently kept the drawing all his life.Randolph Schwabe was a painter, lithographer, illustrator and theatre designer, born in Manchester in 1865. He studied at the Slade, and illustrated books by Walter de la Mare, Arthur Symons and others. He probably knew Yeats, and the drawing may have been commissioned. Reproduced in Foster, W.B. Yeats Vol. 1, plate 15; also reproduced by Yeats as a postcard.Provenance: W.B. Yeats, to George Yeats and Anne Yeats. Purchased by the present vendor at the sale of items from Anne Yeats' estate, H.O.K., November 2002
