G A Storey [George Adolphus Storey] (1834-1919), RA, English painter and illustrator:
G. A. Storey RA painter and illustrator. Two Autograph Letters Signed. ONE: to 'My dear Wolfestan' on artists scientists and colour theory. TWO: to 'Mrs A'Beckett' on writing a memoir of his brother-in-law.
LETTER ONE to Wolfestan: 2 June 1884; 19 St John's Wood Road. LETTER TWO to Mrs A'Beckett: 5 May 1898; on letterhead of Hougoumont 39 Broadhurst Gardens South Hampstead N.W. London. LETTER ONE to Wolfestan: 4pp 12mo. Bifolium. Damage to text including signature 'E. A. Storey' along inner edge of last page by clumsy removal from mount repaired with archival tape. Otherwise in good condition lightly aged. Folded. Wolfestan's letter is 'capital' and he hopes he will send it 'as it exactly backs up my own statement'. On thte previous day he saw and responded to 'the letter of G Roberts': 'the fact is that in the lecture itself I spoke of the scientific theories & said that although they were deeply interesting they were of little use to painters who had to deal with pigments or paints and not with those elements of light which cause the various sensations to the red-seeing or gree-seeing or violet seeing nerves'. He considers the 'report in the Builder' 'very imperfect and disjointed made by an utter ass' and he does not think there is 'a single sentence in it that I could fairly say is mine'. If he publishes the lecture he will send it to him. Returning to Wolfestan's letter he finds that it 'will go far to explain the difference between artists and scientists on the subject of colour'. LETTER TWO to Mrs A'Beckett': 3pp 12mo. Bifolium on grey paper. Damp staining on blank reverse of second leaf otherwise in good condition. He and his wife were looking forward to her 'at home' but could not attend because he had to write a memoir of his brother-in-law whose death took place the day after he saw her. 'It was for 'The Magazine of Art' and of couse was wanted immediately in fact almost by return of post and I could not get it finished till late last evening.' He exclaims 'What wretches printers are and even editors sometimes have no patience no mercy their only motto being "Hurry up" -'. LETTER ONE (to Wolfestan): 2 June 1884; 19 St John's Wood Road. LETTER TWO (to Mrs A'Beckett): 5 May 1898; on letterhead of Houg unknown

Gabriel, Virginia (1825-1877). English singer and composer who is also known as Mrs George E March
AUTOGRAPH NOTE SIGNED by the English Singer and Composer VIRGINIA GABRIEL.
Grosvenor Place 19th Century. . Good. - Over 15 words penned on 5-1/8 inch high by 4-3/8 inch wide "5. Chester Street. Grosvenor Place S.W." embossed stationery. Replying to a request for an autograph the singer writes that "In compliance with your wishes I have the honour to sign myself yrs truly Virginia Gabriel". Once folded the note is mounted with glue from the verso onto slightly larger heavier stock clipped from an album. An unidentified autograph note is mounted on the verso of the mount. Good. <p>The English singer and composer Virginia Gabriel 1825-1877 studied piano with Johann Peter Pixis Theodor Dohler Sigismond Thalberg and Bernhard Molique. She also studied composition with the opera composer Saverio Mercadante. Gabriel composed popular ballads which were highly regarded but given the times she struggled to gain recognition for her more serious compositions and she had to personally publish her cantata "Dreamland". Gabriel died from injuries sustained from a fall from a carriage just a few short years after marrying the librettist George March. In addition to "Dreamland" Gabriel wrote several cantatas including "Evangeline" and "Graziella". She also wrote several operas including "Widows Bewitched" "A Quiet Chateau" "Lost and Found" "Grass Widows" "The Shepherd of Cournouailles" among others. Grosvenor Place, 19th Century. unknown
