Wyndham Lewis collection, 1917-1942.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/226399567

Comprised mostly of the collection previously owned by Lord Carlow, the Wyndham Lewis collection is the second largest in existence and contains a large number of manuscripts, typescripts, and corrected page proofs for many of Lewis'⁰́ books. These document the author's process of continually revising his writings all the way up to their final publication and beyond. The Lewis archive also contains approximately 80 letters, mostly to A. J. A. Symons and Iris Barry; manuscripts of unpublished articles; fragments of verse; and complete runs of the little magazines "Blast," "The Enemy" and "The Egoist" (the little magazine collection also has both issues of "The Tyro"). Additionally, The Poetry Collection owns several of Lewis' drawings and his 1939 portrait of Samuel P. Capen, Chancellor of the University of Buffalo.
