Ludwig Goldscheider papers, 1911-1981 (bulk 1925-1973).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/84215135

Letters, drafts and manuscript revisions of books, photographic materials, annotated books, and personal papers primarily document Goldscheider's writings on art and artists. Materials include informal notes, drafts, printed copies of books with Goldscheider's annotations and revisions, author's proofs, galleys, and some final published editions, together with photographs, slides and printed reproductions of art works intended for private study as well as for publication. Complementing these are Goldscheider's correspondence in his capacity as a principal in the Phaidon publishing house and a respected connoisseur and art historian. Series I. Correspondence (arranged chronologically), consists mostly of letters and copies of letters to Goldscheider dating 1925-1973 from individuals associated with Phaidon and other publishing houses, as well as art historians, collectors, museum personnel, critics, and dealers. Correspondents include: Hubertus von Beyer, Kenneth Clark, Robert Langton Douglas, Reinhold Neven Dumont, Hans Fegers, Paul Ganz, Philip Hendy, Heinrich Klumbies, P.J. LeBrooy, Fritz Novotny, K.T. Parker, A.E. Popham, Gustav Schimert, Irving Stone, Frederick Ungar, Stanley Unwin, and Joseph Caspar Witsch. Series II, Writings: art and poetry contains drafts of books; research notes; poetry; and printed matter. Much of this material is devoted to Michelangelo as well as to other major figures of the Italian Renaissance. Other topics range from Roman portraiture to Velasquez, Vermeer and Rembrandt to Kokoschka. This series also contains offprints of articles by Goldscheider and reviews of Goldscheider's books as well as poems by Goldscheider and Hubertus von Beyer. Series III, Book illustrations and photographs. The majority of items in this section are offset reproductions for the Phaidon Press's Botticelli (1937) and photographs and tranparencies of wax and terra-cotta models by Michelangelo. Series IV, Books, includes six annotated volumes. Five are works by Goldscheider: Die Schönsten deutschen Gedichte (1924); A survey of Michelangelo's models in wax and clay (1962); two versions of Leonardo da Vinci (1959 and 1960 proof); and Kokoschka (1966). The sixth volume is A.B. de Vries's Jan Vermeer van Delft. Series V. Personal papers, includes family portraits and other personal photographs, immigration and naturalization papers, travel visas and other state documents, bank account papers and personal address books. There are also publicity materials relating to Phaidon's Golden Jubilee celebrations in 1973.
