Hunt, Alfred, 1830-1896. Letters, ca. 1887-1896.

Title: Letters, ca. 1887-1896.

Letters from Hunt, mostly undated, to various correspondents, including Birket Foster, Sir John Gilbert, and Thomas Woolner, primarily concerning his landscape paintings and involvement in exhibitions, and mentioning Benjamin West, John Frederick Lewis, Samuel Palmer, John Ruskin and Turner. Included is a 3 p. letter to William(?) Osler in which Hunt writes at length on inspiration; he recognizes a "life-giving harmonic power" in nature that has inspired, almost unnoticed, his art. Hunt goes on to state his belief that Turner's Venice paintings were inspired not so much by the architectural beauty of the city but by the light, sun and sky, which he associated with it.

Letter 6: Autograph letter from Alfred Austin to Mrs. Bram Stoker, dated November 17, 1899.
