Rutherson, whose works are in the Tate Gallery, London, is the younger brother of British impressionist painter Willliam Rothenstein. Ruthenstein studied at the Slade School of Fine Art and his friends came to include Augustus John, William Orpen, Charles Conder, Walter Sickert and Wyndham Lewis. Rutherson began his teaching career at the Camberwell School of Arts and Crafts, and went on to become Ruskin Master of Drawing at Oxford (1929-49). In 1936 he was one of the founder members of the Pottery Group, along with Vanessa Bell, Duncan Grant, Paul Nash, Ben Nicholson and Graham Sutherland. "In issuing this new edition of the Haggadah, the publishers have aimed at giving to this time-honored liturgy a setting of consummate beauty, a fitting testimony to the almost filial affection in which it is held by the Jewish people" (Publisher's note, by J. Davidson). Around the outbreak of the First World War, Albert changed his name to Rutherston, due to British anti-German sentiment. He served in the British army in Eretz Israel between 1916 and 1919. In 1916 Eretz Israel was still a province in the Ottoman Empire, in 1917 the area was conquered by the British and its allies, who dismembered Turkey, "The Old Man of Europe," and then, for 20 years became it became "Mandatory Palestine," a euphemism for a quasi "colony" owned by an imperial power. Rutherston then wrote the book "Decoration in the Art of the Theatre" published in 1919 and edited the Contemporary British Artists series between 1923 and 1927. In 1927 Rutherston illustrated the Thomas Hardy book Yuletide in A Younger World, and designed posters and tickets for the London Underground. He held the post of Ruskin Master of Drawing in Oxford from 1929 to 1948. He also designed stage sets for Harley Granville-Barker's productions. He became closely associated with some of the greatest names of 20th-century English arts scene, including members of the Bloomsbury Group. This Haggada is a new critical edition with English Translation, Introduction, and Notes, Literary, Historical, and Archeological, by Cecil Roth (1899-1970), an Oxford-educated Jewish historian and educator as well as a prolific writer of more than 600 works. In addition to his histories of the Jews in England and Italy, and his masterworks, A History of the Marranos, The Jews in the Renaissance, and Jewish Art, he was the Editor-in-Chief of the Encyclopedia Judaica from 1965 until his death.

Three manuscript letters written to the Anglo-American artist Dorothy Brett (1883-1977) from Roger Fry, Gilbert Spencer and Albert Rothenstein. A graduate of the Slade School of Art, friend of Dora Carrington, and an established member of the London artistic scene, Brett exhibited in London in the 1920s with the New English Art Club (NEAC), and associated with the Bloomsbury Group before moving to New Mexico in 1924 where she shared a ranch with D H Lawrence and his wife Frieda Lawrence. Together, the letters reveal the growing role of a woman painter in Britain during this period. 1. Roger Fry - 1p. 8vo. One sided letter dated April 1921 sent by art critic Roger Fry from 7 Dalmeny Avenue N7. Mounted on an album page. Fry arranges to meet with Miss Brett to see her recent work with a view to exhibiting it at an upcoming exhibition at the Grosvenor Gallery (the 'Nameless Exhibition', May 1921, artists chosen by Fry, Henry Tonks and Charles Sims). 'I have only a certain number of pictures which I am to produce for the exhibition and the question arises simply of what are in my opinion the best. There is no other mystery than that about it'. But adds perhaps he could come and see her work? Fry shows his support in the letter for women artists within his circle and particularly those aligned with modernism. In very good condition. 2. Gilbert Spencer - 2pp. 8vo. Lacking large fragment of p.1 but very readable between the lines. Mounted on album page. Undated [circa 1921] letter sent from Gilbert Spencer, artist and brother to Stanley Spencer. Sent to Mrs Brett c/o Mrs T S Nash, 278 Hemdean Rd, Caversham, Reading. An affectionate, chatty, gossipy letter reporting that the sender has been 'to the International to see Chiles' portrait of you. Candidly I was completely disappointed in it.' Alvaro 'Chile' Guevara's portrait of Brett showing at the International Society's exhibition at the Grafton Galleries in AprilMay 1921 was the subject of some comment The Times described it as 'a very precise piece of still life' but 'the sitter seems to be protesting against the competing vividness of her surroundings'. 3. Albert Rothenstein - Rutherston, 1p. 8vo. Sent circa 1912. Mounted on album page. Letter headed '5 Thurloe Square, SW', signed Albert Rothenstein (Rutherston post 1916) of the artistic, talented Rothenstein family. A fellow graduate of the Slade School of Art and member of the NEAC, Albert writes to Miss Brett inviting her to lunch. 'I've just finished a "poster" for the play [surely Harley Granville Barker's September 1912 production of The Winter's Tale] and now realise how difficult they are to do'.' I saw Bakst's designs yesterday [a Fine Art Society exhibition, JuneJuly 1912, of Léon Bakst's designs for the Russian Ballets]. He can only do one thing well steal from Indian & Burmese things [?] direct. The rest are. disappointing & I think mediocre.' In very good condition. Dorothy Brett's three letters appear to derive from her nephew Anthony (or Antony), father of the wood-engraver Simon Brett. Dorothy moved to Taos, New Mexico, in 1924 where she had further success as an artist. Brett's archive is now somewhat dispersed but much of her correspondence is held at the Harry Ransom Center, University of Texas at Austin and the University of Cincinnati and her body of work is held by the Tate Archive, the Smithsonian American Art Museum and the National Portrait Gallery. PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: All 3 letters are pasted to the verso and recto of a cream piece of card possibly from an album with a couple of lines of biography on each writer written below by 'Anthony Brett'. Other than the letter from Gilbert Spencer which suffers loss from a tear approx. 12 cm x 3 cm along the fore edge the letters are complete, in very good condition and legible.

No Binding. Condition: Good. Signed letter from the artist, Albert Rutherston (born Albert Rothenstsin)(1881-1953), to the art critic and curator, Frank Rutter (1876-1937), on Rutherston's Thurloe Place headed notepaper. 'My dear Rutter, Thanks for your letter this morning. I heard from Sadler & he won't promise anything beforehand but says he will OK all being well. Do what you can with him & meanwhilewe must fix a date as it affacts our arrfangements here. I suggest for the opening day either Saturday May 15th or Sat May 22nd.We have to collect & 'judge' at Scott's three works beforehand you see & then send down to you for the hanging. If Sadler won't open, then it doesn't matter & our pictures & not Sadler are the important things. I wrote him very nicely but [he] doesn't want to look ahead these days & make engagements. .'. Some staining and creasing, otherwise good. Sadler is likely to be Michael Sadler (1861-1943), important collector of Kandinsky, Gauguin and other modern artists, Vice Chancellor of the University of Leeds and President of the Leeds Arts Club. At the time of writing, Rutter was Director of the Leeds City Art Gallery and also played a role in the Leeds Arts Club. Rutherston himself was local to the area, having been born in Bradford.
