rif. 22242Both from Darlington. 15 and 17 August 1847. See Sams's entry in the Oxford DNB. Two letters providing an interesting glimpse of the practicalities of Victorian antiquarian bookselling. Both letters 3pp 12mo and bifoliums addressed on reverse of second leaf with broken seals and postmarks to 'Godfrey Meynell Esqre at Mr Stamp's Surgeon Seaton Carew nr Hartlepool.' Both addressed to 'Respected Frd.' In fair condition aged and worn. ONE: 15 August 1847. He begins by explaining that he was 'from home in the city of Durham' when Meynell's letter came. Sams explains the pricing of two items in his catalogue beginning with: 'The reduced price to give satisfaction that the rare Chaucer 1542 folio was put at was £2. 15s. 6d tho' it was considered modest at a guinea more 3. 13. 6'. The second book 'the Anglo Poetica' 'has not a word said for binding therefore it is to be taken as in old binding for when in Russia they carefully state it & when extra bd neat &c. But the present is very neat in the original oak bds covered with leather a state generally quite prized.' He discusses the cost of delivery: 'The carriage I do not suppose will be above a shilling which is the price to York much further than Seaton. However as perhaps the gentleman to whom I now write may be a customer hereafter I have determined to sustain the further loss tho' not intended to go at the least under the £2. 15s. 6 & on receing a line saying the exact mode by which this work is to be sent & whether by coach or merchant train the post order can be enclosed in the letter it shall be very carefully packed & sent as may be pointed out.' He ends with the information that 'a gentleman I saw at Durham since I have been away spoke to me about this very work & it seems likely he will call abt. It when this way at not less than 3£. or 3. 3s. Had it not the little injury it is supposed it wd. be well worth even 5£. now.' TWO: 17 August 1847. Begins: 'Thine has come to hand - the rare edition of Chaucer has been gone thro' leaf by leaf & it seems quite difficult to collate for the paging is very often wrong but the catchwords prove nothing to be wanting. Yet we fear 1 or 2 leaves are wanting in the interior quite perfect at beginning & end tho' difficult to ascertain as clearly as could be wished.' Sams is 'striving to leave for the Metropolis' the following day '& time being exceedingly precious so close attention has not been given to the looking over the book as could otherwise.' He suggests a price of £2 15s for 'this rare book which is remarkable in having the original first & second titles as well as last leaf &c & also for being in the original oak bds neatly covered with embossed leather'. He ends: 'I think of keeping it apprehending it wd. bring that or more at auction even.' A postscript concerns catalogue orders and ends: 'The christn. name is Joseph -'. In another hand Meynell's beneath the address on the reverse of the second leaf is an eight-line note on the faults in a book the Chaucer beginning: 'In the prologue at least 2 leaves are wanting that is from verse 505 to 715 -'. Both from Darlington. 15 and 17 August 1847. hardcover

Roberts set sail for Egypt on 31 August 1838 a few years after Owen Jones. His intent was to produce drawings that he could later use as the basis for the paintings and lithographs to sell to the public. Egypt was much in vogue at this time and travellers collectors and lovers of antiquities were keen to buy works inspired by the East or depicting the great monuments of ancient Egypt. Roberts made a long tour in Egypt Nubia the Sinai the Holy Land Jordan and Lebanon. Throughout he produced a vast collection of drawings and watercolour sketches. On his return to Britain Roberts worked with lithographer Louis Haghe from 1842 to 1849 to produce these lavishly illustrated plates. He funded the work through advance subscriptions which he solicited directly. The scenery and monuments of Egypt and Holy Land were fashionable but had hitherto been hardly touched by British artists and so Roberts quickly accumulated 400 subscription commitments with Queen Victoria being subscriber No. 1.
