Letters, ca. 1849-1890.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/145988455

Collection consists of letters by Woolner to various correspondents, including Frederick George Stephens, Alfred William Hunt and Ford Madox Brown, concerning his sculpture and other matters. One of the letters, to Stephens (ca. 1849), mentions William Holman Hunt and depicts the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood monogram beneath Woolner's signature. Other letters to Stephens refer to works of Woolner's to be exhibited at the International (1862), and errors in the second edition of his book of poetry "My Beautiful Lady" (1864). The letters to Alfred Hunt concern Woolner's busts of Cobden and the possibility of presenting one to the National Gallery (1866), and an application to the Royal Academy for a pension for John Ewart Robertson from the Turner Fund (1879). His letter to Ford Madox Brown (n.d.) refers to his bust of Bacon, and Browning's impressions of Brown. Other letters relate to a bronze medallion to be exhibited at the Royal Academy (1860); an exhibition of Old Master paintings at the English School at Burlington House (1870); and the design for the decoration of a pedestal.
