Rossetti family letters to the Heimann family, [1843?]-1896.

Consists almost entirely of letters written by the four Rossetti siblings, Christina Georgina Rossetti, (1830-1894), Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828-1882), Maria Francesca Rossetti (1827-1876), and William Michael Rossetti (1829-1919), as well as their mother, Frances Polydori Rossetti, to members of the German-Jewish emigre family of Dr. Adolf Heimann. The bulk of the letters, 331, are from Christina, primarily to Mrs. Heimann (Amelia Barnard Heimann). The next largest series is 45 letters from Maria, primarily also to Mrs. Heimann. There are 16 letters from William and 16 from Dante. The collection also contains six letters from Frances to the Heimann family. In addition, there are three letters from Jane Morris to Mrs. Heimann, as well as a letter from Cathy Hueffer--daughter of Dante's painting teacher, Ford Madox Brown, and younger sister of William's wife, Lucy Madox Brown--to Christina.
