Summary

"Enlivened by humour and a discerning enthusiasm for art and for natural beauties, the correspondence of the Cholmeleys of Bransby Hall is in part the informal record of a landed Yorkshire family in the early years of the nineteenth century. The letters are also an unparalleled source of information about the early career of John Sell Cotman (1782-1842) ... The collection also contains twenty-seven letters of Cotman which extend from the period of his 1806 visit to Rokeby, to completion in 1822 of his series of etchings, "The architectural antiquities of Normandy." These letters significantly augment the surviving correspondence of Cotman that has hitherto been accessible. Like the family letters, they were addressed to the younger Francis Cholmeley by whom they were carefully preserved." (p. 6).
