Zustand: Good. 11 Als, most with multiple pages; 54 page typescript; annotated pages for the 1910 published book entitled "Raphael and the portrait of Andrea Turini," as well as the book itself, by Tom(Tommaso) Virzi; documents of the exhibition at the Burlington Fine Arts Club in 1910.Roger Fry wrote about the painting in "TheThe Burlington Magazine for Connoisseurs ," Vol. 18, No. 93 (Dec., 1910), pp. 135+137-138 (3 pages).These documents and letters are records of an art history investigation into the attribution of an Italian Renaissance painting possessed by Thomas (Tommaso) Virzi. Bernard Berenson guessed Raphael at one time, Roger Fry would also attempt to determine its provenance among other art experts of the period. The painting was being exhibited not only for its fine quality, but also to publicize it so that someone might be able to determine the artist. Most of the letters are by Herbert Cook (1868-1939), a leading English art patron and historian, involved also with the Burlington Magazine. Of special note are two drafts of Cook's Preface to a 54 pp. essay in Italian by Virzi, the owner of the painting. Also of note is a lengthy handwritten letter by Edward Perry Warren (1860-1928), a Bostonian who took up residence in England and became a leading art dealer in Edwardian England. In addition to the Virzi essay the lot includes a preface Cook wrote for Virzi's account.? On 25 October 1910, Warren offered to arrange the sale of the Raphael to the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston for £50,000.Tommaso Virzi later emigrated to America. He shows up in the 1940 census of Manhattan as an art exporter, and was naturalized in 1945.The painting was eventually acquired by J. Hirsch of New York and subsequently sold on Friday 18 July 1980 at Christie, Manson & Woods , London as lot 150, as by Francesco di Cristofano (Franciabigio).The FONDAZIONE FEDERICO ZERI - Università di Bologna now calls the artist "Anonimo fiorentino sec.

Hazell's Annual for 1893 reports that 'In consequence of complaints as to the general administration of justice in Trinidad and Tobago, and specific charges of inebriety and incapacity against Mr. John Cook, senior puisne judge of the Supreme Court, a commission consisting of Sir W. Markly, K.C.I.E., and Sir Frederick Pollock, was sent out to inquire into the state of affairs (March). Their report was to the effect that the charges against Mr. Justice Cook had been in substance proved and that further serious charges against Sir John Gorrie, the Chief Justice, were well founded. The two judges left the island while the inquiry was proceeding, and their places were afterwards filled by Mr. S. H. Gatty, Attorney General, and Mr. Justice Lamb, second puisne judge, whose place was taken by Mr. W. L. Lewis. Sir J. Gorrie died Aug. 10th.'.
