[Printed booklet, with photographic illustrations.] The Mount Pleasant Artists' Rest Home. Rickmansworth. Hertfordshire. Founded 1929.

15pp., landscape 12mo. With four additional pages of photographic plates ('Exterior facing south', 'The lounge', 'The dining room', 'A bedroom'). Stitched into grey printed wraps. Very good, on lightly-aged paper. The booklet includes a list of trustees and other officers, a descriptive text, the 'Regulations relating to the home', 'Form of application' (with two pages of 'rules', including 'CASES NOT ADMITTED') and 'Medical Report'. The descriptive text begins: 'The Home has been built and generously endowed by Mr. F. W. Reckitt, as a Convalescent Rest Home for the temporary residence and recuperation of male artists. He had long cherished the idea of founding this Rest Home, and, but for the War and its subsequent adjustments, his scheme would have been carried out some years ago. His first plan was to built on to the cottage in which he had lived for so long, but this proved to be impracticable so it was pulled down and the present house erected on the site. | The foundation stone was laid by the late Sir Frank Dickess, K.C.V.O., P.R.A., on the 3rd July 1928, and the home was declared open by Sir David Murray, R.A., P.R.I., on the 15th July 1929.' The building is still in existence, but the home was forced to close on 12 January 2014, 'for the foreseeable future'. No other copy traced.
