189068061890. One 8 x 11 inch sheet. Offered here is an unusual scrapbook specimen likely assembled by F. Holland Day coming together with Day collection relating to John Keats: two leaf specimens mounted with captions in ink script: 1 “Leaf of the Mulberry Tree Wentworth Place Hampstead†and 2 “Leaves from the grave of Keats.†In 1818 after the tragic loss of his younger brother to tuberculosis Keats moved into what was then called Wentworth Place in Hampstead London with his friend Charles Brown the tree is still there for visitors to see. The Mulberry tree believed to date from the 17th century was situated just outside the window from where Keats wrote in the grounds of Keats House which he alluded to in a July 1818 letter to his friend John Hamilton Reynolds. He stayed there for 17 months before leaving for Italy where he died in Rome aged twenty-five on February 23rd 1821 and is buried at the Cemitero Acattolicoóthe a Protestant Cemetery in Rome. One of the three examples is not present apparently another leaf from Keats’ grave has been lost and interestingly the glue used bears some of the veins of the leaf. “A fascinating and colorful figure and an extraordinary artist F. Holland Day was a bibliophile publisher and photographer. He assembled one of the largest collections in the world of materials relating to the life and work of John Keats and in 1894 traveled to England to dedicate the first ever memorial to the poet. The audience for the dedication ceremony included Oscar Wilde Aubrey Beardsley George Moore and William Butler Yeats. But it is for his photography that Day is best known. His stunningly original brilliantly executed and sometimes controversial photographic images of blacks children and allegorical subjects brought him fame. During the significant 1895-1905 period in photographic history his fame rivaled that of Alfred Stieglitz.†from Library of Congress. unknown
