2pp, 12mo. Bifolium. In good condition, lightly aged. Folded once. Addressed: 'To W. J. P. Monckton Esq. | Publisher | "Black & White," | London'. He has just received Monckton's letter, and is enclosing a 'little pamphlet', which will give him 'a full account of the incident depicted in "Saving the Colours"'. If all is well Gibb hopes to be in London on the Monday or Tuesday of the following week, and will 'have the pleasure of calling upon you as promised'. His address will be the Thackeray Hotel, Great Russell Street. The painting, executed in 1895 and now in the Naval and Military Club, London, depicts the Guards at the Battle of Inkerman, 1854, during the Crimean War.

12mo, 3 pp. Text clear and complete. Fair, on aged paper. 'Mr Westmacott [the sculptor Richard Westmacott the younger?]' has called on him, and he has 'shown him the settlement all down my Wall - I told him that you had seen it but did not contemplate any immediate danger - he said that Mr Valpy [Henry Valpy (fl.1851-1885) of the architects Burrell & Valpy] was out of town'. Westmacott will write to Valpy, as he thinks there ought to be 'a conference with' Lakyn, who 'should be requested to make a report'. The 'suggestion' Newton has made 'as to the Iron ties will be indispensable - & furthermore that the East wall near door to me should be rebuilt - as it must have weakened the North East angle'. The 'wall of Mr Slades house' has fallen down 'with a tremendous crash - while they were digging for the underpinning' [according to the Survey of London, Stephen Slade lived at 8 Argyle Street from 1819 to 1864]. From what Newton sees 'as to a preparation for a Wall' he fears that the builders 'intend to come beyond the opening of my light'. Asks Lakyn to 'look in' if he 'should be coming this way'. Newton moved from 6 Argyle Street, where he had lived since 1820, in 1866.

First edition in publisher's original colour illustrated stiff deep French flap card wrap covers [soft back]. Quarto. 10½'' x 7¼''. This book brings together 32 texts about Velázquez that appeared between 1964 and 2006 in academic publications, exhibition catalogues, newspapers and general magazines. A good number of them are published here in Spanish for the first time. The set is the result of Jonathan Brown's long dedication to the life and works of the great Spanish painter, and also collects his opinions on many of the attempts to solve the mysteries that arise from the paintings of this enigmatic artist. All these issues are addressed in the last of the essays, "Velázquez, today and tomorrow," unpublished so far. There are two issues that give unity to the set of essays. Velázquez was a painter of the court of Felipe IV, and the changing relationship he maintained with the monarch is the framework in which the artist's career has to be interpreted. The central element of this relationship is Las Meninas, to which Brown dedicates two long essays: the classic one "On the meaning of Las Meninas" (1978) and "Las Meninas as masterpiece" (1999). The second theme is the question of the attributions and the related problem of the innovative technique of the artist. Velázquez was not a prolific painter. Since most of his safe works are in museums today, and as the price of large paintings continues to break records, determining what new works are authentic is an increasingly controversial task. In this book, Brown addresses this issue in its broadest dimension and participates in the debate on some specific attributions. Contains 449 printed pages of Spanish text with monochrome and colour illustrations, works of art and photographs throughout. In Fine condition, no dust wrapper as issued. Member of the P.B.F.A.
