189745668London 1897. Very good collection folded edge worn one tear affecting small portion of text minor soiling a few sticker remnants. 9 pp. A rare archive of five letters to "yet another woman artist who needs our attention" Victorian artist Mary F. Raphael from renowned Victorian artists and illustrators Reginald Cleaver; George Percy Jacomb-Hood; Henrietta Rae Normand; Claude Hayes; and William Quiller Orchardson.<br /> <br /> Marianna Mary Florette Moses Raphael 1861-1942 studied art in her youth but did not pursue it professionally until her husband the wealthy Arthur Lewis Raphael died suddenly in 1891. Widowed at 30 Mary was left to care for their daughter Gladys and enrolled at Cooke's Studio on Fitzroy Street. Her talent was recognized shortly after her enrollment and her works including "The Wood Nymph" and "Britomart and Amoret" had appeared in galleries throughout the 1890s. Britomart clearly suggests desire between two women In the early 1900s Raphael continued to exhibit designed cover art for books became active in the suffrage movement and was a prolific short story writer. She was also an accomplished novelist publishing her first "Phoebe Maroon" in 1914 fannycornforth.blogspot./2021/02/mary-f-raphael-1861-1942. <br /> <br /> "Mary Raphael began her art studies at Cooke's studio in London and received instruction and encouragement from well-known artists including Simeon J. Solomon. She continued her studies in Pans and her work since shows her determination to strengthen her own style in her highly competent and original works. Her Wood Nymph an acclaimed Royal Academy exhibit in 1896 shows her talent in painting nude female figures as well as her real achievement in solving drawing and composition problems. She has shown equal virtuosity' in her portraits of women and children Her portrait of A. E. Woodley Mason will be featured as the frontispiece to his next book." Rinder Frank “Mary F. Raphael " Art Journal 1899: 257- 259. <br /> <br /> Most if not all of the letters are written during the 1890s early in Raphael's career and pertain both to social engagements and to professional matters. Contents include:<br /> <br /> 1. ALS. Reginald Cleaver. March 28th 1894. 22 Bolton Studios Redcliffe Road. S.W. 1 pp. Accepting an invitation to join Raphael on April 11th.

Jacomb-Hood 1857 -1929 was a painter and illustrator. He was a founding member of the New English Art Club and Society of Portrait Painters.

Heavy chipping and wear at edges quarter-sized hole through upper center of both leaves but only a small amount of text actually affected. Moderate tanning and soiling. A scarce 1855 broadside in which Guatemalan caudillo Rafael Carrera addresses Hondurans regarding the perceived malign intentions of their president José Trinidad Cabañas. Honduras with Cabañas at the helm had been in conflict with Guatemala since 1853 and it was Cabañas' stated goal to reunite the states of the defunct Federal Republic of Central America to which end he also invaded Nicaragua in 1854. In this address Carrera states the need to invade Honduras in order to halt the aggressions of Cabañas reiterates his desire for peace and friendship with "true" Hondurans and promises his assistance in reestablishing a reasonable government in their country. It reads in part:<br /> <br /> "En esa contienda las simpaticas del pueblo de Guatemala vecino y hermano vuestro no podian ser dudosas. El General Cabañas no contento con haber estado de mucho tiempo atras fomentado y auxilando la guerra desastrosa de la montaña en esta República invadió á mano armada nuestro territorio no teniendo comprometer la suerte de muchos hondureños arrancados á sus pacífcas ocupaciones. En estas circunstancias habeis vuelto los ojos á Guatemala y requerido su amistosa cooperacion para ayudaros á establecer en Honduras un Gobierno regular que consagre sus esfuerzos á la mejora interior de todos los ramos y al mantenimiento de las buenas relaciones con los Estados vecinos."<br /> <br /> A somewhat tattered copy but not in OCLC. unknown
