[Diary], 1828 Oct-1829 Feb.

Title: [Diary], 1828 Oct-1829 Feb.

Manuscript journal, by a woman, of travel with her husband George from Venice to Rome in the autumn and winter of 1828-29. Topics include sightseeing, excursions to Roman ruins and the Borghese Gardens; social events, including meetings with Sir Humphry Davy, Chateaubriand, and the Neapolitan ambassador; and visits to the opera, the theater, and Mrs. Glasgow's "tableaux." The author is particularly interested in art and describes visits to several studios, including those of Vincenzo Camuccini, Giovanni Battista Cipriani, Bertel Thorwaldsen, John Gibson, and Richard James Wyatt. She offers critiques of the works she was shown, noting that she did not consider Thorwaldsen's statues for the monument of Pius VII "well-executed" and that she disliked Gibson's "method of staining the marble as Canova used to do with iron rust....we thought it no improvement." She mentions purchases of several prints from Cipriani as well as shopping expeditions for marbles and mosaic pieces.

Leigh, Chandos, 1791-1850. Chandos Leigh family papers, 1814-1850.

Title: Chandos Leigh family papers, 1814-1850.

20 ALS and 2 autograph manuscripts by Chandos Leigh, first Baron Leigh of Stoneleigh. Almost all of the letters were written during his travels on the Continent. Ten were written to his parents and sister in 1818-19 while he was on the grand tour. Letters from Switzerland and the Alps describe the scenery, particularly near Vevey and Lake Como, and refer to the writings of Rousseau, Byron, and Thomas Moore. Letters from Florence and Rome detail his responses to art and architecture, particularly the Venus de Medici, the sculpture of Canova and Thorvaldsen, and "the pride, pomp and circumstance" of Roman Catholic churches and ceremonies, which "must disgust the severe taste of the English traveller." Leigh also mentions Lord Byron, Lady Drury and Lord Beauchamp, the "set of regular English Dandies" and English ladies in Rome, the unattractiveness of Roman women, and his own purchase of a Salvator Rosa painting. Three letters to Sir Egerton Brydges, written during the Leigh family's stay in Switzerland in 1837, concern Leigh's poetry, his health, and a possible visit. His letters to his nephew Frederick Colvile contain news of his health and family; travel descriptions; and advice on Colvile's education. A March 1836 letter announces that the trustees of Rugby School have "unanimously decided in favour of Dr. Arnold;" a December 1837 letter comments that "Dr. Newman's book" (Lectures on Justification?) "contains much that is...to an ordinary man unintelligible." Other topics include the 1850 death of Sir Robert Peel and Leigh's own Liberal Party politics. The collection also contains autograph manuscripts of two poems by Leigh: "The First Days of Spring" and "Hymn for the Consecration of the Church on Westwood Heath."

Craig, Ann, b. 1782. Travel diary describing a tour through Europe, 1834-1835.

Title: Travel diary describing a tour through Europe, 1834-1835.

Holograph diary by Ann Craig of a 6 month tour (October 4th 1834-March 26th 1835) through Europe in the company of her husband John Craig and their two children Graham and Sarah. Their itinerary took them from Antwerp through Belgium into Germany, visiting the cathedral at Aix, along the Rhine to Cologne and Frankfurt, where 13 year old Graham was consigned to Dr. Becker's academy, much to his mother's distress. They then crossed into Switzerland, where they visited Edward Gibbon's old house at Lausanne and Voltaire's house at Ferney. After crossing into Italy by the Simplon Pass, they visited Milan, where they saw the cathedral, the Pinacoteca di Brera and the Pinacoteca ambrosiana as well as Leonardo da Vinci's Last Supper (described as "very much destroyed"), and also saw Parmesan cheese being made near Pavia. At Carrara work was in progress on a statue of Christ from the great series commissioned from the Danish sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen for the Freuenkirche in Copenhagen. The party then travelled to Pisa and Florence, where they visited the galleries and the Boboli Gardens, before travelling through Tuscany to Rome. They then returned to Genoa, where they visited Mr. Fox (the future Lord Holland) and were shown "the best collection of pencil drawings by his wife Lady Augusta" and followed the coast to Nice (cordoned off due to a cholera outbreak), Aix en Provence and St. Remy before returning to Calais and London by way of Paris. In general, the diarist takes a greater interest in the social fabric of the countries visited than in their monuments and landscape.
