Manuskript / Papierantiquität
See Gould's entry in the Oxford DNB, with that of Lady Lyte's husband. The Lytes were Somerset neighbours of Gould. 1p, 12mo. In good condition. He is glad to hear that 'Mr Logsdail has done the drawing for you for he would be able to do far more justice to it than I could possibly have achieved'. On the occasions when he is called upon to 'put sentiment into a cartoon' he is 'always conscious of failure and it is well to know one's limitations'.

See both their entries in the Oxford DNB. 2pp, 12mo. Bifolium. In good condition. He has 'just read with much grateful pleasure' the 'very kindly reference' to him in her 'delightful book' (presumably her second volume of reminiscences, 'Leaves from the Notebooks of Lady Dorothy Nevill', 1907). He is 'just in the middle of it and enjoying it keenly'. The only fault he can find is that he will soon come to the end of it. It deserves great success and he hopes she will 'give us more reminiscences'.

Manuskript / Papierantiquität
See Gould's entry in the Oxford DNB. 2pp, 12mo. In good condition. The two leaves of the bifolium on which the letter is written have been separated, and each bears minor evidence of mounting on the blank reverse. He thanks Ashford for allowing him to 'look through your very interesting collection of autographs', which 'does equal credit to your energy and to the good nature of mankind in general'. He continues: 'The pages of an autograph book always make me realise that people are not so crabbed and disagreeable to each other as pessimists imagine or profess to believe. Even to a busy man it is no waste of time to give a few seconds in order to gratify or give pleasure to others.'.

Erstausgabe
First edition. Folio. 10 pp., five full page illustrations and numerous in-text illustrations throughout. Original decorated cloth, blocked in maroon and gold, decorated endpapers (extremities lightly rubbed, slight crack to front hinge, but firmly holding, otherwise a remarkably fine copy). London, Unwin Brothers. Sir Francis Carruthers Gould (1844?1925), cartoonist and stockbroker, was born at Barnstaple, Devon, on 2 December 1844. Gould began work at a bank at the age of 16, before making his way to London and the Stock Exchange in 1865. After working in a stockbroker's office, he himself became a member of the stock exchange, operating first as a broker and later as a jobber. Gould found his greatest love in drawing, however, and found the Stock Exchange the perfect site for this hobby, where, he said, 'there was every variety of personality and very marked individuality among the members.' His work was popular with friends and colleagues, and often issued in private circulation (DNB). Gould?s skill soon led him away from banking to a full-time career in illustration, this time in the political arena. It would be his cartoons supporting the Liberal party and lampooning the ruling Unionists that would earn him his knighthood with the Liberal return to power in 1906. Despite his strong political views, his work maintained a light touch, viewing his subjects as objects of humour rather than derision. This same approach is evident (though still hugely entertaining) in his parody of the City as found in Egyptian ruins 'some 2000 years hence.'.
