Edward Henry Corbould letters, ca. 1851-1882
A bound group of manuscript letters written between about 1851 and 1882 by the Victorian watercolourist and illustrator Edward Henry Corbould and correspondents including the actor Charles Kean and the engraver Joseph Lionel Williams, held at the Getty Research Institute. The pages are sepia ink cursive on cream laid paper, with letterheads, dated lines, crossed and sideways writing, signatures and flourished capitals, useful as handwriting textures, script samples and aged-paper backgrounds.
