CORRESONDENCE ABOUT 'STORIES TOTO TOLD ME' WITH BARON CORVO'S SIGNATURES

2 handwritten letters on John Lane / Bodley Head headed notepaper (which proclaims it is 'Office of The Yellow Book') The first dated March 3rd 1898 in an unknown hand (possibly John Lane) assigns 'all rights whatsoever' (to John Lane / Bodley) the copyright of the six 'Stories of 'Stories Toto Told Me' which had appeared serially in his magazine The Yellow Book. It is signed on a stamp of Queen Victoria by Corvo as 'Baron Corvo.' A second letter on the same stationery with the ilustrated Bodley Head masthead cut out and dated February 14 1899 assigns the copyright for the book 'Stories Toto Told Me.' It is also signed on a stamp of Queen Victoria by Corvo as 'Baron Corvo' but also in his hand is the date '14. ii. 99.' In each case the sum was £10. Very good condition. From the collection of Max Reinhardt who bought the Bodley Head in the 1950s.
