Description

This artificial collection consists of 40 letters between various parties, written between 1771 and 1887. The letters share no single origin or destination, and are therefore divided chronologically rather than by subject or author/recipient. Included in the collection is a group of newspaper clippings from the early 20th century pertaining to the Portland Vase, as well as biographical information on the 3rd Duke of Portland.
