Correspondence from John Hadfield, The Cupid Press, regarding the use of the portrait of Thomas Manning for a forthcoming biography of Charles Lamb by Lord David Cecil. The letters are:

  • Letter from John Hadfield to the Secretary, Royal Asiatic Society, to ask for permission to reproduce the portrait in David Cecil's book, 19 August 1982
  • Letter from John Hadfield to Raymond Head concerning a bust of Thomas Manning and Raymond Head's forthcoming exploratory visit to Diss. He writes of the poor condition of the portrait. He would rather use a picture of the bust if it can be located. Dated 20 September 1982.
  • Letter from John Hadfield to Raymond Head to give more details of what he felt was wrong with the portrait - that the use of bitumen varnish has caused the ridges and cracks. He felt that if the varnish was removed no other repair or restoration would be needed. Dated 24 September 1982.
  • Letter from John Hadfield to Raymond Head to say he is unhappy to reproduce the portrait of Manning from an existing negative but would prefer the item to be cleaned and re-photographed. He also writes that he he has heard from Anne Lonsdale that there is a bust of Manning in the Society and asks whether he can locate it. Dated 12 October 1982.
  • Letter from John Hadfield to Raymond Head to formally ask permission for his photographer to take photographs of the bust of Thomas Manning. He gives the name of the photographer, Derrick E. Witty, and that the Society would be able to keep the negatives. He also talks about the cost of reproduction costs for the portrait. Dated 21 October 1982.
  • Letter from John Hadfield to Raymond Head to say that he had cancelled the photographer after finding a clear photogravure of the bust in a copy of "The Letters of Thomas Manning to Charles Lamb" in the London Library. Dated 28 October 1982.
