| Admin/Biog History | Aydua Scott-Elliot (1909-2003) worked as Keeper of Prints and Drawings at the Royal Library at Windsor Castle from 1946-1969. She worked closely with Oppé while he produced two catalogues on the Royal collection (see APO/1/19 for further material on these). Scott-Elliot was also a collector of drawings and she donated 40 works from her collection to the Whitworth Gallery in Manchester in 1999. Towards the end of Oppé's life, in the mid-1950s, their close friendship had developed into companionship and they were planning to marry but Oppé passed away before this could happen. |
