Description:
7 Fitzroy Square, 5 June 1854. 1 page 4 x 3½ inches, in good condition, minor blemishes only. Gustav Friedrich Waagen (17941868), German art historian. A pamphlet on the brothers Van Eyck led to his appointment to the directorship of the newly founded Berlin Museum in 1832. The result of a journey to London and Paris was an important publication in three volumes, Kunstwerke und Künstler in England und Paris (Berlin, 1837-1839), which became the basis for his more important The Treasures of Art in Great Britain, translated by Elizabeth Eastlake, (4 vols, London, 1854 and 1857). This remains a key source for the provenance of paintings then in England.

Edward Matthew Ward (1816-1879), Victorian narrative painter best known for his murals in the Palace of Westminster depicting episodes in British history from the English Civil War to the Glorious Revolution. In this letter Ward refers to Charles Dickens interest in his picture: I was indeed much flattered by Mr Dickenss notice of my picture. The praise of such a man is as you remark well worth having.

6 Duke Street, Portland Place, 12 June 1876. 3 pp. 7 x 4 inches, in good condition. Uncommon. Lucy Geneviève Teresa Ward, Countess de Guerbel, DBE (1837 1922), also known as Countess de Guerbel and, sometimes, albeit inaccurately, as Dame Geneviève Ward, was an American-born Russian soprano and actress. In 1856, aged 19, she married a Russian count, Constantine de Guerbel. After a few years' stay in Europe, the family returned to New York, and soon afterward made the acquaintance of Henriette Sontag, who encouraged Ward to study singing. When the Ward family returned to Europe, Sontag gave Geneviève a letter of introduction to the composer Rossini. In 1862, after Ward's last role in La Traviata, she retired due to vocal difficulties. Ward later became a stage actress, noted for dramatic roles. She toured Australia as an actress.
