ARTISTS (20th Century -- British): A collection of 13 autograph letters signed by members of the Camden Town Group and New England Art Club, including: SICKERT, Walter (1860-1942). Five autograph letters and one autograph postcard signed ('Walter Sickert', 'W.S' and 'R[ichard] S.') to Enid Bagnold (five without address), and one letter to Henry Coate [?], Fitzroy Street, Mornington Crescent etc., n.d. [circa 1913] and 20 October 1897; others including LAVERY, Sir John (1856-1941), one to Walker, 5.10.1913, STEER, Philip Wilson (1860-1942). Two, to Miss Stewart and to Moon, 10.3.1928 and n.d.; and one each by Henry Tonks, D.S. MacColl and Ethel Walker, altogether approximately 16 pages, 8vo, and one page, 4to (a few small splits in margins).
Sickert's letters to Enid Bagnold (his former pupil) progress from formal flattery ('I am taking advantage of the fact that your letter was addressed to me to say how interested I was in your poem in the New Age. I am not an authority on prosody') to intimacy ('Dear delightful & amazing, Do you ever sleep in London? If so would you breakfast here at 9 sharp? I should then get you alone for which I thirst'), several times praising her writing.
Lavery writes 'I believe Crawhall to have been the finest artist of the Glasgow crew and as far as I know the best in England' comparing him favourably with Whistler. Steer acknowledges some flowers with which Mrs Raynes [his housekeeper and subject of a portrait in the Tate Gallery] is delighted, and congratulates Moon on a picture he has bought. Tonks encloses a cheque for a drawing while MacColl refers to an exhibition. (13)
