5046London; 1871-1878. The collection is in good condition with each letter entirely legible.

ITEM FIVE one page: Letter of Robinson 'W. W.

WOOD Lithographical Music Copyist 32 VINCENT SQUARE WESTMINSTER S.W.' 27 October 1873 on Wood's letterhead giving an estimate 'for 2 pages of music & title'. 'My former estimate was for 12 stave pages & I see by putting the song on 1 page 15 staves will be required . Work done by this system is always cleaned off the stones as soon as finished so that the entire number of copies is likely to be required are always ordered at once. This makes it so much cheaper than engraving. Proofs also cannot be given but accuracy is insured by my having a correct copy & thoroughly examining the work before printing a single copy. If your copy is correct you need have no fear.' Discusses details of legal deposit and asks to be informed on some matters relating to the song. 'What will you do . You may depend on the work being thoroughly well done.' ITEM SEVEN two pages: Wood to Robinson 30 October 1873. 'I always enquire whether copies sent me are correct because proofs not being given it is not at all likely I can take responsibility of mistakes in copies sent me. When I have a good copy to work from parties need not fear for my work because I take good care to do it right. But as you seem rather fearful of the result I have taken the trouble to copy the whole out and send it herewith for your approval. NOT PRESENT Please see if it is correct & the music arranged as you desire to the two verses and if you return it at once I shall at once proceed. You will thus see that I have done all that can be expected to insure correctness & if I can turn out 70 pages of Band music with only the omission of one crescendo - and no mistakes surely 2 pages may be done properly.' ITEM EIGHT two pages: Wood to Robinson 10 November 1873. Sends receipt for his work of £1. 8. 6 and undertakes to forward a receipt from Stationers' Hall for five shillings.

'Respecting terms of course it ought to be One Guinea ask about it and try hard for it but if any demur is made do not object as something was mentioned to me a short time since about obliging a friend for such a ceremony but I gave no decided answer; of course I being away alters the case . but take what is offered and I will arrange with you afterwards'. ITEM ELEVEN two pages: Distin of 96 Penrose Street Sutherland Square S.E. to Robinson 2 January 1877.

160433228-471Leiden Henricus Hondius 1604-1605. Two printed titles with elaborate engr. architectural borders woodcut initials 1 of 2 engr. portrait in the text and 49 engr. plates in vol. 1 33 34 on 1 leaf and 24 engr. plates in vol. 2. Text printed in 2 cols. 9 of 10 unn. leaves; 3 unn. leaves. Oblong folio 280 x 350 mm. 17th cent. marbled boards new endpapers. Leiden Henricus Hondius 1604-1605. First edition of Vredeman's "Perspective" issued by Hondius and printed simultaneously also in French Dutch and German. Present here is the valuable Latin version "the classical language in which Vredeman's architecture is clad and thus becomes timeless in its character" Millard p. 20f. This is one of the most celebrated works on such a subject and was issued by the Flemish born Hendrik Hondius the Elder 1573-1650. The plates for the most part are engraved and a few signed by him after Hans Vredeman. Plate 14 in part 2 is after Paul Vredeman and 4 plates in this part are signed with the monogram DB probably Theodore de Bry or Bartholomaeus Dolendo. The painter and architect Hans or Jan Vredeman de Vries was born 1527 to a German soldier in Leeuwarden Netherlands and probably died in Antwerp 1604. "The King of Architects" Fowler together with Hans van Schille worked at the fortification of the city of Antwerp and also at the triumphal arches built for the entry of the future Philip II into Antwerp in 1549. As a consequence of the religious upheavals of the period Vredeman worked in Hamburg Danzig and Prague before returning to Holland. He wrote and illustrated the present guidebook on perspective for designers painters and architects. It became one of the major books on this subject and through Vredeman de Vries' various publications he is recognised as the "foremost among sixteenth century Netherlandish architectural authors" Millard p. 19. The two volumes illustrate stage perspective interiors furniture palace and garden architecture. Vredeman de Vries was capable of truly artistic landscaping in the Northern Renaissance and served as a model for some patrician gardens in Germany cf. E. Haupt Baukunst der Renaissance in Frankreich und Deutschland 1916. The book includes a number of scenes and projections employ one-and-multi-point perspective. These were essential demonstrations for artists of those days. This work on perspective summarizes Vredeman's knowledge of art science and geometry. This copy has the same collation as the Fowler copy at Johns Hopkins University library which also lacks at the beginning of vol. 1 the leaf A1v with an engraved portrait on left half and a printed poem on right half of this leaf.
