In den WarenkorbThese five items are part of a collection of correspondence (the rest is offered separately) relating to a supposed portrait of a young Percy Bysshe Shelley by George Romney, which was in a group of paintings donated to the Shakespeare Memorial Association by the appropriately-named anatomist Evan Marlett Boddy. (The Shelley por…trait is reproduced in 'The Magazine of Art', 1901, with the caption 'Reputed portrait of Shelley as a boy, by Romney. In the Shakespeare memorial, Stratford-on-Avon.', in an article on 'Portraits of Shelley at the National Portrait Gallery', p. 494.) The Shakespeare Memorial Theatre was founded through the efforts of local brewer Charles Edward Flower (1830-1892), after whose death its management was taken over by his brother Edgar Flower (1833-1903), also Chairman of the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust. On Edgar's death these duties fell to his son Archibald Flower (1865-1950), several times mayor of Stratford-upon-Avon. Between 1899 and 1901 Boddy donated at least twelve portraits to be hung in the Shakespeare Memorial reading room (from the correspondence wood carvings also appear to have been donated). Details of the first seven portraits (including the supposed Romney one of Shelley) are contained in a letter (in the separate collection of correspondence) of 11 December 1899 from Boddy to the Shakespeare Memorial librarian the archaeologist William Salt Brassington (1859-1939). The paintings included supposed works by Henry Fuseli ('The Fuseli Macbeth') and Sir Peter Lely (Nell Gwynne), Henry Wyatt (Coleridge), one of Alexander Pope ('attributed to Hogarth'), as well as a 'Garrick portrait', one of Nell Gwynne, and a 'Spanish Lady'. In 1916 Boddy demanded their return, on discovering that the Archibald Flower had broken the condition that Boddy had arranged in 1900 with the then librarian W. S. Brassington: 'The Portraits were to be hung together and remain so.' The present five items comprise four in 12mo, totaling 8pp; and one (the first) in 4to, 1p, the first part of which is typed and the latter part in autograph. All signed 'W. S. Brassington'. All in good condition, lightly aged. In the first letter (28 August 1900) he writes: 'Dear Dr. Boddy, / Following the investigations respecting the portrait of Shelley, I find that the description on the frame of the picture is not quite correct. / "Percy Bysshe Shelley, aged 13 by G. Romney." Shelley was born in 1792, and in 1805 he was 13 years old. Romney died in 1802, and did not paint much for some years before his death. From a careful examination of the portrait it appears to me that the subject is a boy of about 8 or 9 years of age, and consequently the portrait may have been painted by Romney, in, or about, the year 1800. Next month I hope to meet Dr. Garnett [Richard Garnett (1835-1906)] at the meeting of the Library Association at Bristol and hear what he has to say on the subject; He is the greatest living authority on Shelley. I am also writing to the author of a new life of Romney and hope to find a record of the sittings in Romney's notes.' In the second letter (31 August 1900) he recaps the position, adding: 'The more I see of the picture the more I like it: it is beautiful, and to me more interesting than any of the others: it would be a treasure for any gallery.' In the third letter (4 September 1900) he comments on a photograph of the Shelley portrait (presumably for the 'Magazine of Art' article), which he considers excellent. On 5 December 1901 Brassington writes: 'Since last I had the pleasure of seeing you Miss Florence May has been hunting up the bust of Shelley which Mrs Leigh Hunt made & gave to Thomas Carlyle. It has now been found in Scotland, and the owner has kindly sent me, for the Memorial, an etching made from the bust by W. Bell-Scott. It appears that the present representatives of the Shelley family do not like the bust, though it undoubtedly is a likeness, and it has a resemblance to the Romney portrait, which renders it all the more interesting to me.' In the last of the five letters, 13 December 1901 he write: 'It is quite time, as you say, that misfortunes attend some poor souls even after death, but I fancy the poor departed generally score in the end, if they deserve to do so. In Shelley's case this must be so, & it is a score that his portrait should be here. I shall do my best to get the Leigh Hunt Bust placed beside the Romney Portrait before next April.' There is a final reference to his 'young friend Nupean'.

In den WarenkorbThe Shakespeare Memorial Theatre was founded through the efforts of local brewer Charles Edward Flower (1830-1892), after whose death its management was taken over by his brother Edgar Flower (1833-1903), also Chairman of the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust. On Edgar's death these duties fell to his son Archibald Flower (1865-1950)…, several times mayor of Stratford-upon-Avon. The present correspondence concerns a gift to Shakespeare Memorial Association by the appropriately-named anatomist Evan Marlett Boddy. Between 1899 and 1901 Boddy donated at least twelve portraits to be hung in the Shakespeare Memorial reading room (from the correspondence wood carvings also appear to have been donated). Details of the first seven portraits are contained in a letter of 11 December 1899 from Boddy to the Shakespeare Memorial librarian the archaeologist W. S. Brassington (for which see below). The paintings included supposed works by Henry Fuseli ('The Fuseli Macbeth') and Sir Peter Lely (Nell Gwynne), Henry Wyatt (Coleridge), and a portrait said to be by Romney of a young Percy Bysshe Shelley (five letters by Brassington relating to which are offered separately), one of Alexander Pope ('attributed to Hogarth'), as well as a 'Garrick portrait', one of Nell Gwynne, and a 'Spanish Lady'. In 1916 Boddy demanded their return, on discovering that the Archibald Flower had broken the condition that Boddy had arranged in 1900 with the then librarian W. S. Brassington: 'The Portraits were to be hung together and remain so.' The present collection of 37 items is in good condition, lightly aged, apart from a couple of items are creased and worn, both being repaired with archival tape. The 20 of Brassington's 21 letters dating from the years 1899 to 1902 (totaling 39pp, 12mo; and 1p, 4to) convey his enthusiasm with regard to the donation. In the first letter, 9 December 1899, Brassington acknowledges receipt of a letter from Boddy 'respecting portraits of Shakespeare', noting with pleasure Boddy's 'kind proposal to present the pictures to the Shakespeare Memorial'. Three days later (12 December 1899) he arranges to 'come over and view' 'the pictures which you so generously propose to bestow upon the Shakespeare Memorial'. On 16 December arrangements are made for the removal of the pictures by 'stage carpenter' Henry Mann, with Brassington reporting that 'Mr Flower, our Chairman, who is at present away from home [.] thinks it most kind of you to make this very handsome present'. And a week later (19 December 1899) he acknowledges receipt of 'the seven portraits which you so generously bestow upon the Shakespeare Memorial', adding 'Now that the portraits are in a good light I am more than ever delighted with them, and I think you will be so when you see them in the Gallery.' On the same day (19 December 1899) Edgar Flower writes to Boddy from The Hill, Stratford-on-Avon, as 'Chairman of the Council', to report 'how greatly the gift is approved'. He continues: 'In due course you will receive an official acknowledgment but in the meantime allow me to say personally that I consider each of the portraits as of great merit and interest and that they wil be conserved as your gift in the gallery to which they are a magnificent addition'. Six months later the works have been properly hung, and on 23 June 1900 he writes that the 'beautiful pictures have been much admired to-day by our London visitors, many of whom had not seen Stratford before'. Four days later he informs Boddy that his 'beautiful pictures reached here in safety. The "lady" is before me in a good north light, and looks magnificent.' Shortly afterwards (10 July 1900) he goes into some detail with regard to the hanging: 'The "Spanish Lady" and other pictures now adorn the walls of the Memorial, and are being very greatly admired. Mr Flower is unwell and I have not been able to obtain his signature to a card of thanks, but at the monthly committee meeting great satisfaction was expressed at your generosity. The Grinling Gibbons' carving now stands upon the carved oak mantle shelf of the Reading Room. It is most handsome, and suitable, since it represents the arms of London, where Shakespeare lived for the greater part of his life. Moreover the carving hides an ugly modern Dutch bronze portrait of Shakespeare, now well out of sight! / The Seven ages of Man adorn the staircase. And the "Spanish Lady" hangs over-against Nell Gwynne above the other portraits in the end gallery.' (The letter continues with speculation about the subject's identity.) On 23 July 1900 he reports: 'The two valuable additions to the collection of paintings so kindly presented by you to the gallery are now placed on the walls. The Fuseli hangs near another example by the same master in the 1st gallery, the Sir Peter Lely is placed with the other portraits between Nell Gwynn and the Spanish Lady', which is 'one of the most beautifully painted pictures I have ever seen'. He is so struck by it that he 'went to the Dulwich Gallery last week to make notes, but found nothing like this picture there'. A letter of 1 November 1900 begins by commending Boddy's gift of the proof of his 'brochure' 'Shakespeare's Garden'. Brassington then discusses his holiday 'in a cottage on the quay at Minehead. We had a good time at that old-world place and I ventured to Stratford refreshed. I had found the summer season with its crowd of Americans rather trying.' He is relieved that Boddy was well treated by the staff in his absence: 'they all take the greatest interest in the work of the memorial [.] Unfortunately of late there has been a discordant note sounded by Miss Corelli, but people here are now aware that a great fuss is being made about a little matter.' Turning to Boddy's gift he writes: 'I am glad you approve of the arrangement of the portraits. We expect next week to receive a portrait and a bust of Miss Mary Anderson, and possibly a bust of Ellen Terry, so you see we are adding to the collection and t.

Addressed to 'Dear Madam'. 32 lines of text. After two paragraphs praising Shakespeare in inflated tones ('Other nations have produced a Goethe, a Dante, an Ibsen, a Tolstoy, a Moliere, but no other nation has produced a Shakespeare.'), Lacey explains: 'November 8th. is the tercentenary of the publication of the first Folio of his Works. Yet it is to our reproach that the one great Memorial to Shakespeare on English soil the Theatre, Library, Sculpture and Art Gallery, Reading Room and Lecture Hall at Stratford-upon-Avon, is unable to complete its catalogue, maintain a librarian, or fully develop its educational facilities owing to lack of funds. | The entire Press of the English-speaking world, the leaders of Politics, Art, Drama, Literature, and Society, the Lord Mayor of London and the Mayors of the principal cities and towns warmly endorse the appeal of the Governors of the Memorial for funds to enable the intentions of the Founders to be fully realised. | To this end November 8th. is to be observed as National Shakespeare Day.

The five items of ephemera are in good condition, lightly aged; the Typed Note by Bridges-Adams (Item Six below) is in fair condition, aged and wo…rn. ONE and TWO: Two versions of the same circular headed 'SHAKESPEARE MEMORIAL THEATRE / STRATFORD-UPON-AVON / ENDOWMENT FUND.', both 'signed' by 'H C Lacey' ('Organising Secretary | H. C. LACEY M.B.E.'), although one of the signatures at least must be fake, as they are in different hands. Shakespeare's coat of arms printed in red ink at top right. The two versions are identical but for the fact that one is addressed to 'Dear Madam' and the other to 'Dear Sir'. Begins with the debatable assertion: 'Many men and women have given great gifts to our Nation - inventions, discoveries, territory, and creations of literature and art - but the greatest of all is the glorious inheritance bequeathed to humanity by William Shakespeare.' Continues in the same pretentious vein before describing the 'reproach that the Library, Sculpture and Art Gallery, Reading Room and Lecture Hall at Stratford-upon-Avon, is unable to complete its catalogue, maintain a librarian, or fully develop its educational facilities owing to lack of funds. / The entire Press of the English-speaking world, the leaders of Politics, Art, Drama, Literature, and Society, the Lord Mayor of London and the Mayors of the principal cities and towns warmly endorse the appeal of the Governors of the Memorial for funds to enable the intentions of the Founders to be fully realised. / To this end November 8th. is to be observed as National Shakespeare Day. Each district, city and town has been asked to raise its quota. There will be no street collections, prize schemes, or ballots, but just this appeal to those who value the "Common Heritage" to send a subscription, be it large or small, one shilling or hundreds of shillings, one pound or hundreds of pounds to the Shakespeare Memorial Endowment Fund.' Ends with reference to 'our greatest [sic] National Bard'. THREE: Printed advertisement for 'National Shakespeare Day Appeal / for Tribute to Shakespeare / TO ENDOW THE MEMORIAL THEATRE, LIBRARY, / READING ROOM, ART GALLERY, AND LECTURE ROOM / Erected in the Poet's Memory in Stratford-upon-Avon, the Town of his Birth.'
