Dora Carrington Collection, 1912-1965.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122617186

Correspondence makes up the bulk of the Dora Carrington Collection, supplemented by a small book of woodcut prints by Carrington and a few poems and essays by other authors. The small Works Series holds a notebook, apparently hand-made, containing about twenty prints of woodcuts made by Carrington. The Correspondence Series contains outgoing, incoming, and third-party correspondence. Outgoing correspondence is made up of letters Carrington wrote to her friends and family. Many of her letters include drawings and woodcut prints. Particularly well represented are her letters to Noel Carrington and Mark Gertler. Incoming correspondence contains letters Carrington received from friends. Mark Gertler is again well represented with an accumulation of about 150 letters. Also present are letters from Henry Lamb, C. R. W. Nevinson, Ralph Partridge, and Albert Rutherston, as well as others. Letters from Augustus John include several poems. Third-Party correspondence is composed of letters written by Noel Carrington, Mark Gertler, and Ralph Partridge, as well as others, to other people, some after Carrington's death. The recipient of many of these letters was Thomas Balston, an art historian. The Works by Others Series is composed of research notes and materials on Mark Gertler gathered by Thomas Balston. Also present is an untitled poem by Gilbert Cannan, and an autobiographical essay by Mark Gertler.
