Charles John Cornish, 1897
Scope and Contents
Four pieces of correspondence from the archive of British naturalist C.J. Cornish, all dated 1897. 3 letters in his own hand, written to his publisher, a Mr. Seeley, concerning various writings and drawings, alongside what appears to be a mock-up of Cornish’s Nights with an Old Gunner, then forthcoming from Seeley and Co., London. A fourth letter is written to Cornish by an unidentified correspondent who seems to be an artist working on illustrations for one of his books.
