Scope and Content Thomas Bonnar's scheme for the decoration of the drawing room, Liberton House, Liberton Drive, Liberton, Edinburgh Liberton House lies at the end of an avenue of elm trees on the south side of Liberton Drive. Built c.1600 for the merchant, William Little, it stands on the site of an earlier building, and incorporates features of the tower-house. This drawing, by the Edinburgh decorator and art designer, Thomas Bonnar, shows his proposed scheme of c.1882 for the decoration of the drawing room in the main block of the house. Thomas Bonnar was an authority on medieval mural paintings, and his family firm, Thomas Bonnar & Son, did much to raise the reputation of decorative painting in Edinburgh. His best work includes the decoration of Parliament Hall and St Bernard's Well. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
