Letters received, 1825-1851.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/83912768

Mostly single letters to Thompson (and to his partner J. van Voorst), from painters, illustrators, and architects, primarily relating to the reproduction of their work. Letters refer to the examination of proofs, the delivery of drawings for reproduction, subjects for illustrations commissioned, and occasionally other professional matters. Of particular interest are single letters of Edmund Sharpe on engraving techniques, Charles Joseph Hubbell on his claims to the invention of lithotint, and John Pye on a case before the Artists' Benevolent Fund. Other letters of some content include those of Robert Smirke, E. H. Corbould, William Simson, David Roberts' collaborator William Brockedon, Thomas Sidney Cooper, John Calcott Horsley, Richard Redgrave, Edwin Landseer, and the engraver William Harvey. With two letters of Thompson to his children, 1849, on social matters.
