John Rogers Herbert letters, 1852-1889.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/416293297

The collection comprises eight letters sent by the artist between 1852 and 1889. Four are answers to invitations received from Sir Charles Eastlake (1852 June 5), Mr. Lesley (1861 Apr. 4), W.(?) Banbury (1873 May 8), and A. W. Hunt, to whom he asks to postpone the date of his visit [ca. 1873]. A dinner invitation to the Athenaeum was sent by Herbert to his friend Lewis (1864 Oct. 7). The artist informs Lord Coleridge that he has his picture of the "Judgment of Daniel" in his studio and would like to know when His Lordship would come to see it (1880 Dec. 11). Herbert informs H. Graves that he is sending him a supplementary ticket of his own, which he deserves after his "efforts in art service" (1889 Apr. 30). A hastily scribbled note informs an unidentified person of the date of a private viewing of the painted decorations in the new Parliament building (n.d.).
