Printed:
1876--1900
Four botanical pamphlets by Richard Spruce 1866-1887, three with annotations in A. R. Wallace's hand (c. 1907?), one botanical work by Matthew B Slater 1906; printed obituary notice of Spruce by Isaac Bayley Balfour 1900, with passages marked (by A. R. Wallace?) and printed memoir of George Bentham by J D Hooker, 1898. Notes: Last date based on the fact that A. R. Wallace was working on his edition of Spruce's "Notes of a Botanist on the Amazon and Andes" in 1906 and 1907.(See letters from A. R. Wallace on the subject, mainly 1907). All the pamphlets have been put into one acid-free envelope but should probably go into individual acid-free containers. PJL 15/4/03

1-3: Three small square photographic sepia prints, all annotated in pencil on the back in the same hand (A. R. Wallace's?); the first annotated "Deepdene, Frimley Green Surrey | W. J. Stilman [sic] | 28293", showing a house through trees; the second annotated "W. J. Stillman's grounds" | 28293", showing woods with bracken around the base of trees; the third annotated "W J Stillman's grounds" | 28293"showing trees surrounded by almost bare ground, with a post and wire fence and iron barred gate in the background from which leads a walking path partly edged with a rustic wooden fence. 4. Portrait photograph annotated on the back in pencil in A. R. Wallace's? hand W J Stillman" showing a man, apparently Stillman, aged about 55-60, with medium length white or grey hair; 3/4 profile looking towards the viewer's right; seated in an interior, holding a paper, wearing a short beard and moustache and dressed in a thick fur coat. William James Stillman, American journalist, artist, photographer and diplomat, married as his second wife the British Pre-Raphaelite artist Marie Spartali in 1871, the couple settling in Florence and dividing their time between England and Italy. He was the model for Merlin in the 1874 painting "The Beguiling of Merlin" by Sir Edward Burne-Jones. Stillman worked for the London Times as a young man and was interested in Spiritualism and in alleged manifestation of spirits during seances. Place: Frimley Green Surrey England Notes: Dates based on the apparent age of Stillman in the portrait and of his date of death. Photos of house and grounds were all folded inside a letter, WP1/8/130, letter from Williams to Mr Wallace (A. R. Wallace?), no date, when listed; the portrait was enclosed in a buff envelope marked in blue pencil on flap in A. R. Wallace's? hand "Photo of self" containing this and unrelated items, inside a small folder made from blue-green letter paper labelled in A. R. Wallace's? WGW'S? hand (or both) on one side "Photos | Darwins Statue | Stillmans House | &c" and on the other"Darwins Statue | The Museum - Oxford -". See letter from A. R. Wallace to Violet, 22 May 1899, mentioning Stillman (WP1/2/122).
