Beschreibung

See his entry in the Oxford DNB. The recipient Philip Dosse was proprietor of Hansom Books, publisher of a stable of seven arts magazines including Books and Bookmen and Plays and Players. See Death of a Bookman by the novelist Sally Emerson (editor of Books and Bookmen at the time of Dosse s suicide), in Standpoint magazine, October 2018. The present item is 2pp, 8vo. In good condition, lightly aged. Folded once for postage. Signed John Rothenstein . He believes that Dosse asked him to review the John books (Michael Holroyd s biography of Augustus John, and his book with Malcolm Easton on John s art) for Art and Artists. I don t think I m dreaming as have some copies wh. you sent me at the time. I believe I explained that exceptional demands would make it difficult & I ve also received an intimation that one of the Sunday papers is planning to invite me to do a special feature on the two books, but I m not at all sure whether I shall be able to accept. Dosse is quite right in supposing that the Easton volume will be by no means complete .
