6 volumes, folio. (14 x 10 1/2 inches). 216 woodburytype photographs on cards. A few with minor chips at board edges of cards. (A seventh volume was published in 1894). Contemporary morocco-backed cloth boards Provenance: Peabody Institute (bookplate, inked stamp on titles and versos of photographs) A noted photographically illustrated work of portraiture and biography. Barraud was born in London to a family of artists. His maternal grandfather, Thomas Hull, was a miniature painter while his father Henry and his uncles, William and Edward Barraud were talented animal painters. Herbert's brother was Francis James Barraud, an artist celebrated for having created "His Master's Voice," a painting used in advertising by the early HMV gramophone records. Barraud was among the most fashionable portrait photographers of the Victorian era. He operated a studio at 263 Oxford Street from 1882 to 1892 and had a branch at 92 Bold Street in Liverpool serving gentlemen and ladies in the Northwest. He advertised his studios as being accessible "by a lift constructed on the most approved patents which will be found a great advantage to sitters as no stairs have to be ascended." This suggests that Barraud was able to cater to a wide range of subjects of different ages. Barraud was also known for taking photographs of actors and actresses in everyday dress or theatrical costume, for cartes de visite, and, later, cabinet cards. Barraud's images were Woodburytypes, then a newly developed process which lent itself admirably to portraiture, being able to render tones accurately. Barraud's portraits were noted for their ability to capture the essence of the sitters and their characters with a flattering sense of familiarity. John Ruskin thought that Barraud's photographs were "the first done of [him] that expressed what good character there was in [him] for [his] work." The English critic was particularly amused by the one Barraud took of him standing against a tree, dated to 1886, since it reminded him of the poses often adopted by 'young ladies or professional beauties' in studio photographs. Similarly, photographs Barraud took of Charles Darwin are described as having an intimacy and rapport which the portraits done by other photographers lacked. These volumes are photographically illustrated biographies, which chronicle the lives of literary, social and artistic figures in the last decade of the nineteenth century. The volumes include portraits of Robert Browning, Lady Churchill, Arthur Conan Doyle, Henry Irving, Lord Tennyson, Sir Richard Owen, John Ruskin, Adalina Patti, George Du Maurier, J. M. Barrie, H. M. Stanley, W. S. Gilbert, and other writers, actors, politicians, scientists, aristocrats and notables of the day. The final volume includes portraits by other photographers. The biographies are edited by Charles Ellington. Stephen, Leslie, ed. (1885). "Barraud, Henry," ODNB. "The Private Secretary," object record, The Victoria and Albert Museum.

4 pp. of a bifolium. Ca. 114 x 180 mm. Dated London, July 22, 1875. In black ink on mourning stationery. In Italian (with translation). Campanini complains about a potential engagement in St. Petersburg, which he may not be able to accept because his contact, [Gaetano?] Ferri, may not be in charge of the theatre, and because he may not receive adequate pay and recognition. He then lambasts two prominent singers, Ernest Nicolini (1834-1898) and Victor Capoul (1839-1924), whom the directors favor simply because they are French. ". I think it is almost useless to discuss the Petersburg affair (I'll explain why now). As for the salary, it will be a somewhat difficult thing to arrange because I know that Ferri would want to pay me as a debutant, and if they do not grant me 80,000 francs, I will not go to Russia. Nicolini, what a horror, he has a voice that rumbles like a paralytic and he also sings out-of-tune quite well, and for this they grant him everything because he is French. If you want to show this letter to Ferri, please go ahead, I don't mind. " Creased at folds; several small perforations, with no loss to text; small abrasion to central fold of second page; remnants of former mount to corners of final page; some bleeding, not affecting legibility. "Engaged to sing Manrico in Il trovatore in Odessa, [Campanini] stayed three years in Russia, returning to Italy for further study with Lamperti in Milan. In 1871, after singing Gounod's Faust, Don Ottavio and Gennaro (Lucrezia Borgia) at La Scala, he attracted wide attention when he sang Lohengrin at Bologna under Angelo Mariani, in the first Italian performance of Wagner's opera. At La Scala he also sang the title role of Marchetti's Ruy Blas and Lohengrin (18723). Having made his London début in 1872 at Drury Lane as Gennaro, in 1874 he sang Kenneth in the première of Balfe's Il talismano. In 1875 he sang Faust in Mefistofele in the first performance of the revised edition of Boito's opera at Bologna, and in 1878 Don José in the London (Her Majesty's Theatre) and New York (Academy of Music) premières of Carmen. Having sung Gounod's Faust at the opening of the Metropolitan in 1883, he returned (18914) as Almaviva, Don Ottavio, Raoul (Les Huguenots), Lohengrin, Edgardo (Lucia di Lammermoor) and Boito's Faust. He sang the title role of Berlioz's La damnation de Faust at the Royal Albert Hall in 1894, the year he retired. His voice was reportedly neither large nor perfectly even, but was sweet, flexible, brilliant on top and used with intuitive musicality." Elizabeth Forbes in Grove Music Online.
