Dr Ian Fallows in his address to the large crowd who gathered to witness the joint exhibition of paintings that had been gifted to the people of Brechin made reference to DW’s very close association with Tibbie Taggart as a child and in later life when he sketched and painted Tibbie. Dr Fallows referred to one of the booklet’s as “a delightful little thing, ten pages of lovely drawings and writings designed to keep a small child happy.”
I am also delighted to inform the people of Brechin that Dr Fallows has donated one of these booklets “The Jujube and the Traction Engine” to the David Waterson Trust which can be seen at the joint exhibition currently being held in the Old Town House Museum and Gallery. Dr Ian Fallows also donated a copy of a pastel sketch of his mother and a birthday invitation which DW did for one of Tibbie’s birthday parties
