Letters by Corbould, including six to Joseph Lionel Williams, concerning his painting and other matters, together with two engravings of his work.

Included are illustrated letters suggesting changes to a woodcut of a woman on horseback (1859); proposing designs for a banknote (1874); depicting figures on a coastline greeting a Norse ship (n.d.); humorously portraying himself in full armor riding in a carriage (1870); and discussing the Prince of Wales' emblem and offering an alternative design based on that of the King of Bohemia (1863). Other letters include one to Charles John Kean concerning Princess Alice making a sketch from his "King Lear" (1858), and one regarding Corbould's illustrations for Lord Lytton's "Lost Tales of Miletus" and Tennyson's "Idylls of the King" (1882).
