Haddon  Adams
	Haddon C. Adams made an important bequest to the Ruskin Galleries, Bembridge, which came to the Galleries on 15 September 1971, following Adams’s death on 14 June 1971 (although he had deposited some items, including diaries of John James Ruskin, prior to his death). Adams, a civil engineer and a friend of John Howard Whitehouse, started collecting during a visit to Brantwood in June 1928. Early work forming part of the Adams bequest included the commonplace book, MS ?;  Little Jack, with its tracings; and drawings of 1831 (a tower, signed with initials and dated 1 September 1831), 1832 (“Tunbridge Castle” [Works 38: 288, no. 1698]), 1835 (twelve drawings from the tour of that year), and undated but possibly early copies of Prout. Work by John James Ruskin associated with his son’s youth included his diary for 1833, and the drawing “Conway Castle.”
