Drawing of Robert Begg retirement party with caricature assumed to be Avella
Part of Alfredo Avella Collection
Print of a drawing by Danny Ferguson captioned "Staff Association Party on the Retiral of Mr Robert Begg as Chairman of Governors May 7th 1976" with added hand-drawn caricature (assumed to be Avella) and signature reading "Ferguson 76". The caricature, which is placed between the figure of Begg and the crowd of GSA staff, shows a man smoking with one hand in his pocket and a speech bubble that reads "I'm not going... And it serves them right....". Several details, such as smoke rings from a pipe and shading on suits, have been added by hand to the print.

Photograph of Alfredo Avella in his studio
Part of Alfredo Avella Collection
The photograph shows Alfredo Avella seated at a desk in front of a whiteboard in his studio at the GSA Stained Glass and Murals Department in the Haldane Building. He appears to be reading from a page in front of him. On the left-hand edge of the picture there are two men facing towards Avella, apparently listening to him speak.
