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.

The distance from Chelsea to Regents Park must be my excuse for not having paid my respects to you yet. I thank you for the invitation but I never go to dances now." 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.

"As the hanging proceeds I will communicate with you about the portrait & if there should be space I will call you for it in addition to the other contribution if you will allow me to make this arrangement. I should not like to hang it badly but if we are crowded it might have to go higher than I should like to see it." Henrietta Rae Normand 1859-1928 was a painter skilled in classical and literary subjects. The exhibit to which Normand may be referring is the Jubilee of Queen Victoria an 1897 exhibition of work by female artists.<br /> <br /> 4. ALS. Claude Hayes. Nov. 17th.n.d. but ca. 1896. Wiburn Hill Addleston. 3 pp. Thanking Raphael for payment and apologizing for being unable to see her due to a five-day show.

Shall I see your large portrait you speak in the New or R.A. I wish could had the life of a painter pure & simple like you for instance for half my time is employed in catching trains for teaching purposes."

1802WRCAM32884London: I.R. Smith 1802. Handcolored mezzotint 17 1/2 x 19 inches. Small tear in lower margin slightly affecting image and caption. Minor edge wear and dust soiling. Mounted on heavy card. Fair only. Archivally matted protected with mylar sheet. Later issue after the first of 1789. A striking mezzotint engraved by J.R. Smith after a 1785 painting by Joseph Wright showing an Indian woman looking out over a serene ocean while her deceased husband's tomahawk war club and quiver hang above her on a dead tree. In the background a steaming volcano and thunderclouds complete the pastoral scene. When the painting was first exhibited in 1785 this description accompanied it: <br> <br> "This picture is founded on the custom which prevails among the savage tribes of America where the widow of an eminent warrior is used to sit the whole day during the first moon after his death under a rude kind of trophy formed by a tree lopped and painted; on which the weapons and martial habiliments of the dead are suspended. She remains in this situation without shelter and perseveres in her mournful duty at the hazard of her own life from the inclemencies of the weather." <br> <br> Though Wright never travelled to America he depended heavily on James Adair's HISTORY OF THE AMERICAN INDIANS. 1775 for anthropological information for this painting. The original remains at the Derby Museum and Art Gallery. Quite rare. Not on OCLC. I.R. Smith unknown books
