Joseph Alfred Novello was the son of well-known organist and composer Vincent Novello and like his father devoted himself to the propagation of good music in England. As a friend and admirer of Felix Mendelssohn he was particularly eager to introduce that composer's work to English audiences. Some years after establishing himself at the age of nineteen as a music publisher in London he invented a system for printing cheap music and succeeded in introducing it in spite of the opposition of his fellow music-sellers.

Best.-Nr. 2517611 June 1937; on letterhead of the National Portrait Gallery London. 1p 4to. On discoloured and somewhat grubby paper folded twice for postage. Addressed to ‘S. Hodgson Esq.’ and signed ‘H M. Hake’. Hodgson has sent Hake ‘a manuscript fragment’ which does not seem to indicate either of ‘the portraits in the Gallery’. He has ‘looked up the record of portraits offered in the past but there is no mention of Mrs. Cruikshank or her executors.’ He asks a related question before turning to the subject of the physician Sir Benjamin Ward Richardson 1828-1896 who was in Hake’s opinion ‘more of a professional worthy than a national one’. Despite his opinion Hake ‘would not discourage his portrait being offered if it were not too large a portrait’. He is retaining the slip ‘manuscript fragment’ in case anything further occurs to him. ‘S. Hodgson’ donated a carte-de-visite and a cabinet card to the NPG in 1961. 11 June 1937; on letterhead of the National Portrait Gallery, London. unknown
