Letters, ca. 1915-1945.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/82947055

Primarily letters from Rutherston to editors or publishers, including fourteen to Harold Monro of the Poetry Bookshop (1915-1925), concerning book illustration. He discusses coloration, technical processes, correcting proofs, and his reactions to the published product; gives the conditions under which he will accept work, and his fees; and mentions Paul Nash. Two of the letters focus on Rutherston's work with the theater. The first (to Monro, 1915) refers to the publication of his lecture at Leeds University entitled "Decoration in the art of the theatre" (London, 1919). The second (to Sir Barry Jackson, founder of the Birmingham Repertory Theatre, n.d.) furnishes information on an exhibition of theater art at the Victoria and Albert museum. Arranged chronologically.
