BROMHEAD GALLERY
Bromhead, Cutts Gallery at 18-20 Cork Street, London, the property's its first apparent use as an art gallery came in 1919, when fine art dealers Bromhead, Cutts & Co., moved in. The owners were Harold Watts Bromhead (23 July 1868-14 April 1943) and William Charles Joseph Cutts (19 April 1876–28 March 1962) who previously worked together at the print dealership P. & D. Colnaghi & Co. before opening their own gallery. The gallery hosted prominent international and local showcases, notably in May 1920 of the works of the late Walter Crane (15 August 1845–14 March 1915) in 1923 of William Gordon Burn Murdoch (22 January 1862–19 July 1939) and in 1924, they hosted an exhibition of Percy Francis Godenrath's (19 October 1874–13 March 1944) Prints by Contemporary Canadian Artists. The firm also operated heavily as a publisher and printer of high-quality original art prints. In 1920, they published the seminal book 'The Modern Colour-Print of Original Design' by Malcolm Salaman, a leading authority on the medium. Cutts seems to have left the business as by 1926 it was known as the Bromhead art gallery of Harold Watts Bromhead, who was the secretary of the 'Art Journal' and of the Society of Graver-Printmakers in Colour and in 1933 went on to found and was the first secretary and treasurer of the Streatham Antiquarian and Natural History Society and was the author of several books including 'The Heritage of St Leonard's Church' (1932) and 'Streatham's Beginnings' (1936). The Bromhead Gallery was succeeded in 1933 by the Mayor Gallery and latterly the premises housed the Redfern Gallery and until 2023 Browse & Darby. Suffolk artists who exhibited at the Bromhead Gallery include Phyllis Mary Pulling other exhibitors include Concord Morton (17 February 1911)-1979), twin brother of Cavendish Morton.
