Letters from Frederic Leighton, ca. 1875-1894.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/80461091

Collection consists of letters from Leighton to various correspondents concerning the business and workings of the Royal Academy, his financial and personal affairs, and exhibitions; he includes mention of his paintings and the work of other British artists, and occasional comments on art in general. The collection includes two letters received. Several of Leighton's letters were either dictated to a secretary or written in the third person. Though many of the letters are brief, undated, or of a routine nature, the collection is significant because little of Leighton's correspondence was left with his estate. Also included are an undated cabinet photograph of Leighton, a gravure portrait from a newspaper, and an undated letter by the actress Mary Jane Chippendale, glued to the verso of one of Leighton's letters to Miss Frith.
