Dear Mr. Stieglitz,

I have received your letter of 15th feby, and am glad to have your assurance that the Japanese paper will be suitable. I expect to send off the photogravures not later than a month from now.

I have just been appointed a juror in the St. Louis Exhibition and shall therefore have to fly a visit to America very shortly. The date at which my services will be required has not been determined by the Royal Commission but if the probable date be fixed upon I expect to sail for New York on the 29th April and I look forward with great interest to making your personal acquaintance then. I do not know what attitude you have taken up with regard to the St. Louis Exhibition. Davison told me the other day he thought there had been some difficulty

in New York probably for a week at the end of September. I trust
I may have the luck to see you either on this side or the other.
It would be too annoying to miss seeing you because of my being in
New York while you were on this side. With kindest regards and
renewed apologies for the delay,

I am,

Yours sincerely,

P.S.

I have omitted to say that I have enclosed in the parcel some
proofs of the photogravures that you may experiment in mounting
them. You will notice that it is essential that they should have
a white or light paper backing. I anticipate you will have
considerable difficulty in mounting them nicely but from what I have
already seen I have every confidence that you will be successful in
doing so.

Dear Mr. Stieglitz,

I have received your letter and am very glad
indeed to learn that your health has now somewhat improved and regret
that a complete recovery will probably occupy so many weeks, but I
trust you will find yourself about again sooner than you expected.

I did not intend to tempt you with the "Riva
Schiavoni" but must say I am glad that it is to appear as it has always
been rather a favourite of mine. I shall have the copies printed
and ready to despatch in ten days. Personally I would rather be
represented by one photogravure than half-a-dozen process blocks and
I would not mind in the least if you economise with the latter.

From what I have heard from our London friends
I had formed greater hopes of seeing you in London than in New York.
I leave here on the 19th August and shall have one or two days only
in New York on my arrival but I expect to have about ten days there

before I sail on the 5th October and shall be glad to know if there is
any prospect of your being home again by that time. I should like
very much to see a number of our workers in the States and any advice
you can give me will be highly appreciated. On my outward journey
I propose visiting Philadelphia and Washington and expect to pass
through Boston on my homeward journey.

With kindest regards,

I am,

Yours sincerely,

I am sending you by book-post tonight proofs of the two plates
from Horsley Hinton's pictures and shall be glad to have your
instructions regarding the plates at your convenience.

We are pleased to have your inquiry for the cost of three D. O. Hill photogravure plates and you will kindly take our reply in Mr. Annan's absence. Since you give us the option of quoting "all in all" for the plates and 900 Japanese impressions we shall say £12 inclusive for each of the three subjects or a total of £36. As to the subjects we presume you will make the selection yourself? We may mention that we have a very fine plate which Mr. Annan made some years ago and laid aside, but which was never used, of

Dear Mr. Stieglitz,

I am very sorry indeed to hear that your bad luck still seems to follow you with regard to the health of yourself and family and I can only assure you of my sympathy and hope that you will all be fairly fit by the 25th when you hope to sail for America, and that you will be favoured with good weather for the voyage.

As requested I wired you to-day an estimate for making the three photogravure plates and printing 900 copies on Japanese paper. An estimate for these plates had already been sent to you while I was in America but I have made a slight reduction and trust it will come within the means of the magazine. Lady Ruthven, Mrs. Rigby and Dr. Munro ought all to make good plates especially if I am fortunate enough to get the negatives from my friend Mr. Elliot, who is supposed to possess them.

With regard to the International Society I am

rather disappointed that you have had so much worry in endeavouring
to come to a satisfactory agreement. Mr. Davison has sent me a copy
of his letter to you and you may take it that that letter is quite in
accord with my opinions. It appears to me that the chief difference
of opinion is in regard to the name of the Society. If an inter-
national title were adopted the national councils might be attached to
or elected from societies such as the Linked Ring in England and the
Secession in America, where these already exist.

well after your return to New York that you were to have a
prolonged spell of good health. I trust the spring weather

It is a great pity that there is so much

Some of them must be printed but although the light is very bad at present I shall probably get them away during the second week of January which would insure their arriving in good time.

My Dear Mr. Stieglitz,

Very many thanks for your long letter. You have certainly had an extremely busy time, and I am sure that all who have the welfare of the Art movement in photography at heart must feel very much indebted for the exertions you so willingly put forth.

I have also to thank you very much for the five numbers of Camera Work, which you have so kindly sent to complete my set. The Steichen numbers especially are truly wonderful, and I think make the high water mark of the magazine. The Pennsylvania Poster too is quite a triumph. I had it mounted behind a glass and hung up in my room before it had been twenty-four hours in my possession.

Then I have to acknowledge your cheque for the 31¼ dollars, which I received with your letter.

With regard to reproducing some of my pictures for Camera Work, I should be only too pleased to do them on the same terms as before. The only suggestion I would offer is that something less

hackneyed than "The Ploughing Team" may be substituted for that
subject. I have one of "Stirling Castle" which I think you would
like, and I shall send you a proof of it in a few days. But if
you still prefer "The Ploughing Team" I shall make a plate of it
for you.

Then with respect to Mr. Davison's plates, I gather
from your letter that your intention is to use some of the plates,
which he has already had engraved, and I have written to him on
the subject. If this be the case the cost of printing these will
be at the rate of 12/- per hundred.

I know Strang very intimately, and he is as charming
personally as his work is excellent. I had an Exhibition of a
large number of his etchings and drawings in my gallery here a
few weeks ago, and send you a copy of the catalogue, with prices
attached. I also enclose the prospectus of a catalogue which was
recently published. This catalogue contains a reproduction of
every plate that he has made, and I should think you would have
no difficulty in seeing one in New York.

I fear you would have difficulty in getting Strang to loan
you a few prints, as I have known him refuse similar requests, and
especially as he is already in touch with some print sellers in
New York. I do not know whether you are aware that he was in
America about two years ago, and during his visit he had an Exhi-
bition of many of his prints at one of the galleries in New York.

I think I have now replied to all the items of your
letter, and with kindest regards.

I received your letter giving me the order to print the Davison gravures and my own, and if I did not acknowledge it at the time please accept my apology. These plates have been rather a long time in hand now but I have been making some new plates for Davison, and he has only just decided which are to be included.

I have not been to London since the salon opened, nor have I seen anyone who has been there whose opinion is of consequence, so that I cannot express any opinion at present with regard to it. The reports in the photographic papers and also in the Daily Press are generally misleading that one cannot

Alfred Stieglitz Esq.

Dear Mr. Stieglitz,

I enclose a prospectus of an Exhibition which is to be
held in Edinburgh during the summer months. From it you will see
that photography is to be included in the Art Section. A special
building, comprising nine galleries, is being erected to house the
Fine Arts. One of the galleries is to be devoted to photography,
and I am writing now to ask whether you could possibly send a group
of American pictures. They would all be hung together, and any
reasonable stipulation which you might make would be agreed to.

The practical working committee consists of Mr. Crooke,
with whose work you are probably more or less familiar as he was
formerly a member of the L.R. Personally I have great respect for
him. The next name on the prospectus is John Warrack, an art con-
noisseur, and an intimate friend of Sir Jas. Guthrie, president of
the Royal Scottish Academy. Robt. Burns is a professional painter

of some standing. The others on the committee are not taking much to do with the work and practically do not count.

I do trust you will be able to help us. I am a patriotic scotsman and am always jealous for the success of any national effort.

Trusting you are in good health, and with kindest regards

I am,

Yours sincerely,

P.S. I just cannot remember whether I have ever specially asked for the return of the pictures which constituted my show at the little Galleries, but, if not, I would be glad if you could get them returned to me shortly.

PP.S. It occurs to me that in the event of your being unable to send pictures, we might frame a series of the best reproductions in "Camera Work" and exhibit them.

My Dear Stieglitz,

I think I told you some time ago that I had just
about finished making a little book which had occupied most of
my spare time during the last three years. It is now completed,
and I am sending you a copy by the American Express Co. to-day
and trust you will receive it safely. You will notice on the
page opposite the title that there is printed "Presentation Copy"
and I hope this will be sufficient to pass it through the customs
without any trouble to you. In case they insist on knowing the
cost of the book I enclose a page of the prospectus showing the
published price. At the worst I understand they are only en-
titled to charge on the wholesale price, which is 25% less than
the published price.

27th July, 1909.

My Dear Stieglitz,

I was delighted to receive your very kind and cordial
letter yesterday.

It would really be a pleasure if all the congenials
could get together for a session. I don't think there are any
misunderstandings to clear up really. It is only the non- or
semi-congenials who do not understand, and it is so very diffi-
cult, or perhaps one should say unpleasant to break away from
them. I think we are gradually drifting apart however. I dis-
like photographic politics very much and I daresay shirk my pro-
per share of organising work.

With reference to "Camera Work" and photogravure, I
think Mrs. Sharp has not made the position quite clear with regard
to the Forbes White pictures. I have been South staying with
Davison for three weeks, and while I was there a Mrs. Harrower,
Forbes White's daughter sent my firm six of her father's paper
negatives, with instructions to make prints and forward them to

2

Mrs. Sharp. This was done and the negatives returned to Mrs. Harrower. I have not seen them and therefore am not aware of the subjects which have been selected for your inspection although I am familiar with F. White's work generally. No plates have been made nor any arrangement come to with regard to them so that you are entirely free to proceed or not as you think fit. From my recollection of the character of the F. White negatives (it is some years since I examined them) some treatment would be necessary in the preparation of reproductions, such as getting correct tone in skies, etc., etc., but this could quite easily be done. I have recently made six new plates of D. O. Hill subjects and Mrs. Sharp has probably confused her reference to them and the F. White pictures. I understand Mrs. Sharp is writing an article on Hill for "Camera Work" and she thought you might be able to use these plates or some of them as illustrations and she forwarded a set to you in New York. I hope to use the plates for another purpose for an album of sixty or seventy Hill subjects later on but meantime you may have the use of them if you desire it.

I have been looking into the matter of price and find that for the previous Hill plates you paid £11. for 950 prints, and that for reproductions of my own pictures you paid at the rate of 20/- per 100 for prints including the use of plates. I am anxious to meet you as far as possible in the matter of price and propose in future to charge at the rate of 18/- per 100 for prints and use of plates, the price of prints only as in the case of Davison's where the plate has already been paid for to be 10/6 per 100.

Then in reply to your query about my own work, I have
been doing quite a lot of things lately which my friends think
interesting and if you desire it I would be only too glad to make
some plates for "Camera Work." In any case, I daresay you will
be interested to see what I have been doing, and I shall make up
a parcel of rough proofs of recent negatives and send them to you
in the course of a week or so. You could then decide whether you
would care to have any of them reproduced.

I am sending you by post to-night a proof of the last

My Dear Stieglitz,

Many thanks for yours of 11th inst, which I duly received. Pray excuse a very short acknowledgement as I am extremely busy. The photogravures are being shipped as in-structed. They will probably go to-morrow.

With regard to my own work, I cannot send you anything in photogravure of a suitable size for "Camera Work" at the moment, but I am sending you by post to-day three photogravures of a larger size for your inspection and kind acceptance. If these appeal to you specially, I could make plates of a suitable size for "Camera Work." I am also sending a small parcel of rough prints direct from the negatives, which I had lying by me, so that you may see a number of other subjects, several of which right make suitable plates. Along with them I am sending the original of the photogravure of the White House, which will indicate the difference between

My Dear Stieglitz,

I am very sorry indeed to learn from your letter that one of the parcels has gone astray. It was posted at the same time as the other but was sent parcel post, and I am hoping that it is only a delay in the customs that is the cause of the trouble. Our people inform me that although we send many packages to various parts of Europe we have had no trouble with any of them excepting those sent to you during the last twelve months. It is really most unfortunate, but I hope to hear in the course of a day or two that the parcel has turned up. I am making enquiries at this end however.

I am sure you will enjoy the short time that remains to you in Paris, and I trust that afterwards you will have a comfortable and pleasant voyage.

My dear Stieglitz,

Many thanks for yours of May 6th. It is most stimulating to come into touch with your enthusiasm. I should like very much indeed to see some of your exhibitions at "The Little Galleries," the Rodin show in particular must have been a very great pleasure and education. I enclose one or two catalogues to show you what I have been doing in that direction this Spring. The present collection of Whistlers is especially fine, probably the most extensive that has been shown at any time in Scotland.

I am much gratified by the confidence you have that I shall be able to make photogravure plates more successfully than the Manhattan Co. I have a slight feeling that possibly you over-estimate my powers, but I shall be delighted to do my best for you at any time. The price of engraving a plate would be 2/- per square inch; and printing on the thin Japanese paper

My Dear Stieglitz,

Many thanks for your long letter. I shall be delighted to have the opportunity of engraving De Meyer's work, and shall put my "best foot fore-most" to make worthy reproductions when I receive the negatives.

I also note your instructions about forwarding the five subjects. We have already had experience of the new method of parcel post to the United States and quite understand your directions. One of the subjects is not quite finished, but we shall send off some packages immediately and the others in the course of a fort-night. I trust you will find them satisfactory.

Then with regard to the exhibition at Buffalo, I am very grateful for your kind invitation to provide one of the one-man shows. It will be the fulfilment of a promise which I made to my poor friend Kurtz with whom I was very intimate. I feared that his death might have cancelled the proposed exhibi-

tion. I have not had time so far to think over what might be
sent but I note that you wish to have pictures of all periods.
It will be rather a difficult proposition to get such a collec-
tion harmonious, the quality both as regards size and manner
of printing of the earlier ones being so different from the more
recent subjects. However, I will do my best, and will endeavour
to send a considerably greater number of subjects than you
require so that you may make such a selection as will make a
satisfactory exhibit. The impression given to a visitor,
especially to a somewhat casual visitor, is apt to depend quite
as much on the general appearance of a one-man collection as on
the quality of individual prints, but I have every confidence
in your ability to show my work to the best advantage, and it
is for that reason that I propose to leave the final selection
of prints in your hands. I have still got all the D. O. Hills
which appeared in last year's Photographic Salon and shall have
much pleasure in lending them for Buffalo. If possible both my
own prints and the Hills will be sent to Coburn, but I shall let
you know definitely about that later.

I have to acknowledge, and thank you for, quite a stream
of letters, pamphlets, catalogues, and also the last number of
"Camera Work." The latter pleased me more than either of the
other two numbers in which my work was reproduced, chiefly on
account of the fact that the pictures were all done about the

My Dear Stieglitz,

Many thanks for your long letter which I have only just received on my return from a holiday. I am much interested to hear of your movements and of the number of interesting people you are coming in contact with. It is unfortunate that Scotland is so far from your route and that we have so seldom an opportunity of meeting each other. I see very little of my fellow members of the Secession and did not get south for the Exhibition this year, so that I have no opinion to express regarding it, but so far as I can gather it seems to have aroused very considerable interest.

With regard to the D. O. Hills, I shall be very glad to do another series on the same terms as before. I have a number of negatives beside me and shall send rough proofs of all of them to you in the course of a few days in the hope that you will find a sufficient number of interesting subjects for

Alfred Stieglitz Esq.

My Dear Stieglitz,

By this post I send a number of rough proofs from D.O. Hill negatives which are available for reproduction. Many of them have flaws and defects of various kinds, but I think you may take it for granted that if you approve of a subject I shall be able to make a satisfactory plate of it. I have included a plate of Mrs. Jamieson which was reproduced as a block in the first "Hill" number of "Camera Work." It is one of his finest portraits, and it occurred to me that possibly you might wish now, or at some future time, to reproduce it again as a photogravure. You will have no difficulty in finding six subjects without her however. Hill was essentially a portrayer of men, and perhaps it might be advisable that they should predominate in this number.

On looking over the bromide prints again I have divided them into two lots, and have included a number which I do not consider suitable but which you may be glad to see. Even the failures

have points of interest.

I have just re-read your letter and quite envy you
your delightful experiences. It is always inspiring to come
into touch with leading men and great minds.

Your remark about Munich having become stagnant
artistically interests me, as I regret to say Glasgow is in a
similar condition. Twenty years ago it was simply bubbling
over with the enthusiasms of the young men who formed the
Glasgow School. Now, unfortunately, London, Edinburgh, and
other places, have claimed them, and not one remains in Glasgow,
and the succeeding generation is of no account.

My Dear Stieglitz,

I am very sorry to learn that Paris has again proved unkind to you but trust that you will soon recover now that you have got over the worst of your illness. It certainly is very bad luck being ill while on holiday. I wrote in the end of last week to your old address at Lucerne informing you that the proofs were now ready and here is your letter in reply, although I don't suppose you have received mine.

By this post I am sending two proofs of each, and trust you will find them satisfactory. Some of the negatives are in rather a bad state but I think the essential features appear in the reproductions. I shall be glad to hear from you by return as my presses are quiet at present and I expect to be very busy in a short time.

will find you better.

Upon my return to America about four weeks ago I found
my affairs pretty well messed up and since then I have had my head and hands
full trying to get things once more into running shape.

Your letters telling me that the gravures are ready for
shipment pleased me highly. It is such a relief to find some one keeping
time, that is, finding some one who can actually be depended upon.

As for the shipping instructions of the gravures, please
be guided by the following:

Send by * parcel post) registered. Each package should have enclosed
a bill of the cost of gravures enclosed in same.

Do not send more than six in one shipment than are valued at L 18-0-0;
that is, split the shipments into as many parts as is necessary so as to make
no shipment worth more than L 18-0-0. (This is done to avoid getting a consular
invoice.)

Between shipments let about five or six days pass. This is done so
as to prevent parcels of two shipments coming together on one boat. The
government here looks upon goods coming on one boat as one shipment.

In case all this is too much of a nuisance for you, please
send all the gravures by express (Wells Fargo preferred, and do not fail in
this instance to accompany shipment with consular invoice. The address to

Dear Stieglitz,

I duly received yours of Nov. 6th, and am glad
to know that you have got back safely and are gradually getting
your affairs straightened out. I trust you will find that on
the whole the European trip has done you good, and that you will
feel well set up for some time to come.

Your instructions about the shipment of the photo-
gravures are quite simple and clear. I find that, from the post
office authorities here, £16. worth of goods is the utmost they
will allow in one shipment, and we have therefore divided the
whole consignment (750 copies each of 9 plates) into four parcels
with invoice included for each portion
which we shall send weekly. When all are delivered we shall
send you a complete statement direct. I trust they arrive
safely.

With kindest regards

P.S. By the way, you will be interested to know that I am

able to borrow it shortly. If I succeed, I shall send you

I shall endeavour to take some photographs with it.

May we remind you that there is still a charge against you of £9-3/- for Japanese paper, and £1-16-1 for freight charges, making a total of £10-19-1. From this falls to be deducted £1-2-6 which you overpaid us in Sept. of 1910. This will leave you still owing us £9-16-7.

When you are again remitting us payments, would it be equally convenient, and equally economical, to send a bank draft on London for this amount?. This would save us charges at this end for negotiating your Knickerbocker Trust cheque, as they seem to have no London branch.

We are,

T&R'ANNAN&SONS.

Dear Stieglitz,

I am not sure whether I wrote to thank you for the last number of the "Camera Work" containing so many excellent examples of your own "Camera Work." It is a fine number and well maintains the wonderfully high standard of the magazine.

Mr. D. Y. Cameron, the well known etcher, was with me to-day and we happened to be looking over several numbers of "Camera Work." He was very much delighted with the drawings in the Rodin number, and expressed a desire to purchase a copy.

I suppose the only method of purchase is by special application to you, hence this note. I trust you will be able to send one for him.

With kindest regards

P.S. I had a delightful time at Christmas and New Year with our mutual friend G.D. at his Welsh Castle. He is in the best of

March 6, 1912.

My dear Annan:

Under separate cover I am sending you the Rodin number of Camera Work which you ordered for D. Y. Cameron. I enclose bill for same.

I shall deduct the amount from the draft I intend sending you on Monday for the bill still due you for L9-16-7.

I hope you got your Hill number in good order. The editions ran very well, although I had a girl working three weeks spoting the same. I know the great difficulties in handling such a job and therefore know how to allow for any really immaterial short coming when technical. The main thing with me is always to preserve the spirit. And you have done that marvelously in the Hill's. The work entailed in keeping up the standard of Camera Work and the Secession becomes more and more complex. Of course the problems confronting me are interesting, otherwise I would not consider them as worth while. Conditions in America are irradically different from those in Europe as far as art is concerned.

De Meyer expects to return to England next week. He has gotten a very fair glimpse of what is going on at "291". Perhaps some day you will meet him and he will give you his impressions. They will undoubtedly interest you. When you see Davison again please remember me to him.

Yours etc.,

T&R'ANNAN&SONS.

My dear Steiglitz,

I ought to have written some time ago to
thank you for the Rodin number of the Camera Work. Cameron
is delighted with it. I have also to acknowledge your cheque
received this morning, for which accept my thanks.

I have a very interesting Exhibition running
in my Gallery at present of which I enclose a catalogue. I am
sure there is much in it that would give you great pleasure
and satisfaction. Next month we have a somewhat similar
Exhibition by the Senefelder Club, a modern Society for the
encouragement and development of lithography. Pennell is
one of the leading lights. Trusting you are well, and
with kindest regards.

I am,

T&R·ANNAN&SONS.

My dear Stieglitz,

It has been on my conscience for a considerable time
that I have not written to thank you for the various magnificent
numbers of "Camera Work" which I have received from time to time through
your kindness. The photographic numbers well maintain the standard
you have set yourself and the futurist articles and illustrations are
cuite the best that I have happened to see. It may be that there is
plenty of literature on the subject, but it does not happen to come
to Glasgow.

It was a great pleasure to receive your letter with
its good, and alas, also its bad news. I regret extremely to hear of
Keiley's death. My acquaintance with him was comparatively slight but
it was quite sufficient to enable me to endorse your very high opinion
of him.

It is pleasant to see that you are still as enthusiastic

as/

as ever about "Camera Work" and that you are enjoying sufficiently good
health to enable you to devote energy to it. Your request to provide
further illustrations from my work is a great compliment and I have
the greatest pleasure in agreeing to do so. I am therefore sending
you some of the old plates which have not been unduly published hitherto
and also, what I trust you will like equally well, eight plates from
snapshots which I made in Spain a year ago. It was my intention to
make plates of about thirty subjects and publish them in an album
but I find great difficulty in getting time enough to prepare the
subjects. In the meantime you are welcome to the use of the plates
and it is just possible that I may later on publish them as originally
intended.

I think I have previously informed you that during the last four
or five years I have gone into the business of selling fine prints to
a considerable extent, and consequently have had less time for
photographic work. The Spanish trip was in a way connected with this
business as I accompanied Mr. William Strang, A.R.A. to whom I had
given a commission to prepare a series of Spanish etchings. Besides
being a very able artist Strang is a charming fellow, and we had a most
enjoyable time together. The Spanish Set was quite a success and is
now nearly out of print. I enclose a circular which will give you the
particulars. I wonder whether you are acquainted with Strang's work.
He is one of the ablest and certainly the most versatile of living
etchers. His portraits are unrivalled, his landscapes are exceedingly
personal and his social and religious pictures are also very character-
istically his own. You are probably aware of all this however, but

Alfred Steiglitz, Esq.

My dear Steiglitz,

About a fortnight ago I received the copy of "Camera Work" containing my Spanish plates and which I have to thank you most sincerely not only for the volume itself but for the very kind and flattering dedication which you have written upon the title page.

A few days afterwards I received a very delightful letter from Heinrich Kuhn also expressing great satisfaction with the prints. It is only ten days ago since I got this very intimate friendly letter and now I suppose we are political enemies and quite unable to correspond no matter how much we might wish to do so. It is all very dreadful and we are likely to have an unpleasant time for some months to come.

In my leisure time during the last few months I have engraved a few more plates from the Spanish negatives and have much pleasure in sending copies of them to you herewith so that you may amplify/
