1. ROGER WODEHOUSE COLLECTION.

Provenance:

Purchased in 1971 as the "Roger Wodehouse Collection." Roger Wodehouse was one of Matthew Arnold's grandchildren; his mother was Mrs. Armine Wodehouse [nee Eleanor Mary Caroline Arnold ("Nelly"), 1861-1936].

Previously catalogued by Professor S.O.A. Ullmann, Union College, Schenectady, New York.

Professor Ullmann's catalogue has three main divisions:

1. Manuscripts - by Matthew Arnold.
2. Letters - from Matthew Arnold to various recipients.
3. Arnoldiana - manuscript material, letters, books and photographs/drawings relating to Matthew Arnold.

Prior to this catalogue the material was housed in four boxes. In re-cataloguing this collection Professor Ullmann's divisions were preserved. The material was re-housed in six acid-free boxes; one for division I [box labelled "WODE 1"], one for division II [box labelled "WODE 2"] and four for division III [boxes labelled "WODE 3, WODE 4, WODE 5 and WODE 6"]. N.B., Items 3-6 from section II (letters of MA) have been removed from the box which contained manuscripts by Matthew Arnold and placed in a separate folder in the box labelled 'WODE 2.'

Some items in the collection have been labelled with codes derived from Ullmann's catalogue thus 'I 1' is the first item in division I (in this case an AMS entitled 'Pilgrim Love'). Codes on slips inside manuscripts or on envelopes containing manuscripts, letters or pictures such as 'MA112' refer to a loan exhibition (at Dove Cottage, Lake District) and have been ignored in this catalogue.

2. Poems, Matthew Arnold, London: Macmillan and Co., 1871 (2 Volumes). Volume I inscribed, "To Ella Ford - with every kind and affectionate wish from Matthew Arnold.- Nov[em]ber 7th, 1882." [Ullmann - Ella Ford was the fiancee of Matthew Arnold's son, Richard Penrose Arnold, 1855-1908].

3. The Birthday Book of German Literature, J.W.L., London: Thomas Laurie, n.d. Inscribed, "To dear Nelly [Eleanor Mary Caroline Arnold]. M.A. August 16th, 1881." Contains the signatures of many members of the Arnold family including those of T.H. Huxley, Edward Dowden, Reginald A. Farrar, Francis H. Sumner, Lord Coleridge, Arthur Balfour and Matthew Arnold.

6. The Cricket on the Hearth, Charles Dickens, London: Bradbury and Evans, 1846. Inscribed "F.L.W. 1846" [Francis Lucy Wightman]. On the half-title there are several attempts at writing the name 'Arnold' or 'L. Arnold' [presumably by F.L. Wightman]. Part of the rear endpaper is missing and there are several pencil drawings on the preliminary pages of the book.

7. De Imitatione Christi, [Thomas a Kempis], London: Williams and Norgate, 1848. Notes in Matthew Arnold's hand in front and back, many marked passages. Between pp. VI and VII is a slip with further notes by Matthew Arnold and a quotation, "Besides the discouragement from humanity there was one from natural weakness." With the book plate of Matthew Arnold. [Front cover is detached from the rest of the binding].

[William Edward Forster]." Ullmann believes that this inscription and 4 pages of first lines with their page numbers at the end of the book are by Jane M. Arnold. In a separate envelope are several dried flowers taken from between the pages of this book.

9. Essays in Criticism, Matthew Arnold, Leipzig: Bernhard Tauchnitz, 1887 (copyright ed. in two volumes). Inscribed in the first volume, "To Armine Wodehouse [soon to become the husband of Eleanor Mary Caroline Arnold], with every good wish for September 24th. 1888. from Frances L. Arnold [Mrs. Matthew Arnold, nee Frances Lucy Wightman]."

10. Prometheus the Fire-giver, [W.W. Scunell?] London: Chatto and Windus, 1877. Inscribed [on title page], "Matthew Arnold Esq. with much respect from the author W.W. Scunell [?]." Only the first page of the text and the adverts (of December 1879) at the back have been opened.

BOX: WODE 5.

E. Miscellanea.

1. Passport of Matthew Arnold and Mrs. Matthew Arnold (no. 8821). Issued 28 August 1851, renewed by E.J. Blache [?], French Vice-Consul 1 July 1860. Signed by Lord Palmerston and Matthew Arnold. In the accompanying booklet there is a stamp [associated with an earlier passport?] for Calais dated 5 April 1837 and for Saint-Louis dated 13 April 1837. Ullmann notes that this passport was used on Matthew and Frances L. Arnold's honeymoon. Passport and booklet bound in a small black leather wallet with 'Matthew Arnold' and 'Passport' gilt-stamped on the reverse.

2. Portrait of William Arnold [1745-1801]. Written in pen on the back, "William Arnold of Slatwoods. Isle of Wight. (Father of Dr. Arnold of Rugby) and Grand Father of Matthew Arnold." Small oval oil on wood painting (approx. 22.5 cm. high and 17.5 cm. across) in gilt frame.

3. Picture of Dr. Thomas Arnold courting Mrs. Thomas Arnold [nee Mary Penrose] accompanied by her brother and sister. Written on the picture mount, "Newton Cliff" "1820" and the initials of the subjects, "T.A." "M.P." "J.P." and "J.J.P." An ink inscription on the reverse is almost illegible although I believe that the date given is 1897. [Ullmann suggests that this picture may be a copy but does not identify the original]. Medium unknown [not pencil, possibly wash or watercolour?].

Using Care and Identification of 19th-Century Photographic Prints, James M. Reilly, Rochester, NY.: Eastman Kodak Co., 1986 I was able to identify the media used in several early 'photographs' from this collection.

4.

i. Ambrotype of Matthew Arnold. From a clock and calendar included in the ambrotype the location and date can be given precisely as Field Foot at One O'clock, Sep[tember] 10 1856. After disassembling the 'package' which contained this image I identified it as an ambrotype on the following grounds:

1. the fact that the image was housed in a hinged case suggested that it was not a conventional albumen or salted-paper print.
2. the image is formed on a glass support.
3. the tonal range is limited - highlight areas are of limited brightness as with ambrotypes or tintypes.
4. the image is backed by a black velvet, non-reflective support.
5. the image appeared positive only when the glass was placed before a dark background.
6. the ambrotype process was popular between 1855 and 1865 and most popular in the late 1850s. In a purple-brown leather- covered hinged case.

ii. Ambrotype of Matthew Arnold with members of the Arnold family. Identified as an ambrotype for the reasons given above except that in this case a layer of black laquer applied to the back of the glass has been used instead of velvet as the non-reflective support. I believe that Matthew Arnold is seated at the back leaning against the wheel of the cart and that one of his sisters [? Mrs. John Cropper, nee Susanna Elizabeth Lydia Arnold, 1830-1911] is at the extreme left. Probable date [based on the photographic process employed and on the presence of young children] late 1850s. In a brown leather-covered hinged case embossed with a thistle motif.

iii. Daguerreotype of unknown woman with applied pigment [prob. watercolour]. Identified as a daguerrotype for the following reasons:

1. the image is housed in a hinged case.
2. the image is on a highly polished silver support.
3. the image appears as either a positive or negative image depending on the angle of view and the direction from which light falls on it.

Probable date between early 1840s and c.1860. In a purple-brown leather-covered hinged case.

iv. Photograph of 'Rover.' On the back of the photograph is a pen inscription, "Rover died Saturday Feb. 9th. 1878. 6 in the morning." In an oval brown leather-covered hinged case.

v. Photograph of Lady Sandhurst [orig. Mrs. the Hon. Armine Wodehouse, nee Eleanor Mary Caroline Arnold]. Inscription on reverse of photograph, "Lady Sandhurst at Robin Skyll Aug. 26 [19]34."

vi. Picture of unknown woman. Medium unknown [photogravure and pencil?]. Signed [?] Mendelssohn.

vii. Photograph of Lady Sandhurst, Mrs. Moorman and Miss E. Bradford. Identifications in the hand of Vincent Quinn. Inscribed on reverse [in an unknown hand, "E.S., E.B. and M.C.M. near Seathwaite in Borrowdale Aug. 25 [19]34."

viii. Photograph of the same subjects and with similar inscription on reverse as the preceding photograph.

ix. Photograph of Justice Sir William Wightman [d. 1863, Father of Mrs. Matthew Arnold, nee Frances Lucy Wightman]. Inscribed on the back, "12.11.60" [possibly the date?]. May be a early copy of a photograph (because the eyes have clearly been retouched) rather than an original print.

x. Copy made of a photograph of Matthew Arnold with Eleanor Mary Caroline Arnold ("Nellie") and two dogs: 'Kaiser' and 'Geist.' [from a print belonging first to Professor Garrod and then to Mrs. S. Davis to whom he gave it].

xi. Envelope marked, "Miscellaneous Not of real interest." Contains several letters to Eleanor Mary Caroline Arnold, several empty envelopes formerly containing letters by Matthew Arnold [not contemporary with the letters], some of Matthew Arnold's poems copied out [not in his hand]. In addition, the typescript of a review [unsigned] of G.W.E. Russell's Matthew Arnold and his Letters and a poem entitled 'To my darling brother' by Eleanor Mary Caroline Arnold and dated Feb. 23 1842 [concerning the recent death of Trevenen William Arnold nicknamed "Budge"].
