To Anthon Van Rappard. the Hague, Between About Tuesday, 24 and About Friday, 27 October 1882 To Anthon van Rappard. The Hague, between about Tuesday, 24 and about Friday, 27 October 1882. between about Tuesday, 24 and about Friday, 27 October 1882 Metadata Source status: Original manuscript Location: Amsterdam, Van Gogh Museum, inv. nos. b8361 a-b V/2006 Date: In letter 277, of Sunday, 29 October, Van Gogh writes: This week I received a letter from Rappard (l. 29). The present letter must have been an immediate response to that one from Van Rappard: Van Gogh had received the letter just now (l. 2). If he had received it on Saturday Van Gogh would have said yesterday in his letter to Theo, so it probably came a little earlier. But since we cannot know this for sure, we take on or about Friday, 27 October 1882 to be the terminus post quem. Based on the words this week, the earliest date would seem to be Monday, 23 October, but we assume that Van Rappards question about the monogram FD (see l. 88) refers to letter 273 with the list of monograms, which dates from on or about 22 October, so that the letter from Van Rappard probably dates from a little later in the week. The exact date cannot be established, so we give on or about 24 October 1882 as the earliest possible date. Additional: Original [1r:1] Amice Rappard. Uw schrijven ontvang ik daareven, & is juist zoo als ik het bedoelde. Nu weet ik zoo ten naasten bij een & ander en bij gelegenheid kan ik er op werken er iets bij te vinden.1 Vooreerst That beautiful wretch3 heb ik NIET & is zeker zeer mooi en wil ik zoo mogelijk bijzonder graag hebben. Het Holiday No 82 waarin ook 1 As requested, Van Rappard2 sent Van Gogh a list of (duplicate) prints; he would also have told him which illustrated magazines he subscribed to (cf. l. 48 and letters 267 and 268). 3 Van Rappard4 must have written about the illustrated book That beautiful wretch. A Brighton story by William Black5 (New York 1881). This light-hearted novel is set in middle-class circles in and around the resort of Brighton. Vivacious and intelligent Anne (Nan) Beresford falls in love with Lieutenant Frank King. At first she feels a strong urge to be independent, but in the end they marry. Van Gogh later mentions several prints from this book; see letter 311, nn. 8 and 9. 1 2 To Anthon van Rappard.

It contains illustrations to the novel They were married! by Walter Besant9 and James Rice10, among them designs by Richard Caton Woodville (ii)11 the picture on the cover, engraved by William James Palmer12 (Ill. 1961), also on p. 16 and by Davidson Knowles13, such as Maude and Virginie examining old prints at the towers, engraved by Richard14 and Edward Taylor15 (p. 28).

Ill. 1049. The print was also included in LUnivers Illustr 25 (20 May 1882), p. 313; Van Gogh may have had the engraving from this magazine, since he also had Une route Hong Kong (A road in Hong Kong) by Edward Hildebrandt19 from the issue of LUnivers Illustr that preceded it (t*647). 20 William Small21, In the park (source unknown most probably The Graphic). Ill. 1963. (London, Witt Library). 22 William Small23, An odd couple The Eton and Harrow cricket match, in The Graphic 12 (1875), Christmas number, p. 23. Ill. 1964. It is an illustration for the story An odd couple by Mrs. Oliphant. 24 C. Robinson25, The romance of a rescue, engraved by Joseph Swain26, in The Illustrated London News 65 (16 December 1874), Christmas number, p. 12. It is an illustration for the story The romance of a rescue by W.W. Fenn. Ill. 1283 (t*409). The title could also refer to C. Robinson, The Troedyrhiw colliery accident: Rescued!, in The Illustrated London News 70 (28 April 1877), p. 385. Ill. 1965. (t*686). The estate has one copy of each print. 27 Henry Robert Robertson28, Christmas on the Wave, in The Illustrated London News 65 (16 December 1874), Christmas number, p. 17.

Ill. 1265. 32 Given that Van Gogh cites several prints from volume 24 of LUnivers Illustr, among them Overend33s Le th dans la serre (see n. 27 below), here he probably means the anonymous portrait engraving George Washington, premier prsident des tas-Unis dAmrique (George Washington, first president of the United States of America) in LUnivers Illustr 24 (8 October 1881), pp. 688-689. Ill. 502. 34 William Heysham Overend35, Hopes and fears, in Harpers Weekly 25 (for the week ending December 17, 1881), Extra supplement, p. 860.

Ill. 1967 (t*778). In volume 77 of this Wchentliche Nachrichten, which covered science, business and theatre as well as art, there are four prints that Van Gogh mentions, three in this letter and one in letter 311. 40 Carl Koch41, Berliner Bilder: Die Ruderregatta auf dem Langensee bei Grnau am 11.

The work was also known under the title Les petits cochons; see the engraving by Th. Knesing in Gazette des Beaux-Arts 25 (1882), 2nd series, p. 273. 47 Francis Montague Holl48, Home again, in The Illustrated London News 79 (3 September 1881), Extra supplement, between pp. 236 and 237. Ill. 945. A print by Eugne Fromentin49 appeared in Harpers Weekly 25 (for the week ending Sept. 3, 1881), pp. 600-601. 50 Possibly a print after the drawing Dans les dunes de Scheveningen (In the dunes at Scheveningen) 1848 (present whereabouts unknown). See Franken and Obreen 1894, p. 19, cat. no. 107. Cf. also cat. nos. 104a-107a. It is also possible that this refers to Rochussen51s lithograph Een landschap met figuren (A landscape with figures) which had been in Kunstkronijk 12 (1851), between pp. 8 and 9. Ill. 1287. 52 Albert Gustaf Aristides Edelfelt53, Chez lartiste (At the artists), engraved by Charles Baude54 after the painting with the same title at the Salon of 1881, in Le Monde Illustr 25 (17 September 1881), p. 181. Ill. 90. 55 Merry Christmas is listed on the same line as the name Edelfelt56, but no work with this title has been found in his oeuvre. Van Gogh probably meant Charles Stanley Reinhart57, Merry Christmas to you, old barebones!, engraved by Frank French58, in Harpers Weekly 26 (16 December 1882), pp. 800-801. Ill. 1257. Moreover, the words A Merry Christmas are found on Francis Wilfred Lawson59, Children of the great city, in The Graphic 15 (14 April 1877), p. 337; there is one copy of this in the estate. Ill. 1968. (t*270). 60 Alfred Edward Emslie61, In sight of home: Christmas morning, engraved by Eugne Froment62, in The Illustrated London News 77 (1880), Christmas Number, p. 12.

  • To Anthon Van Rappard. the Hague, on Or About Sunday, 22 October 1882
    To Anthon van Rappard. The Hague, on or about Sunday, 22 October 1882. on or about Sunday, 22 October 1882 Metadata Source status: Original manuscript Location: Amsterdam, Van Gogh Museum, inv. no. b8349 V/2006 Date: In De brieven 1990 this letter is dated on or about 29 October 1882, which results in a very high density of letters to Van Rappard in the last days of October. Moreover, it leads to the strange situation that, at a time when Van Gogh and Van Rappard are corresponding with great frequency about illustrations, for four weeks (roughly from the end of September to the end of October) no letters pass between them. This is why we have placed the letter a little earlier in October. Van Gogh wrote on or about 23 September that within 14 days (perhaps even sooner) he expected to have a collection of prints in his possession (letter 268, ll. 49-50). The postscript in letter 274 of 22 October shows that by then he had received the new woodcuts, whereas in letter 272 of 15 October he doesnt yet mention them, so we assume that the acquisition came into his hands in the intervening week. The obvious conclusion is that the list of monograms in the present letter was drawn up wholly or partly because of this acquisition. Whether this was done after Sunday, 22 October (and thus before or after letter 274) is impossible to determine, but it must have been around then, so we date the letter to on or about Sunday, 22 October.

IS SUPPER ready, mother? I^m as hungry as a bear!^^ The speaker was a sturdy boy of sixteen, with bright eyes, and a smiling sun-browned face. His shirt sleeves wer3 rolled up displaying a pair of muscular arms. His hands were brown and soiled with labor. It was clear that he was no white-handed young aristocrat. His clothes alone would have shown that. They were of coarse cloth, made without any special regard to the pre- vailing fashion. Tom Thatcher, for this was his name, had just come home from the shoe manufactory, where he was em- ployed ten hours a day in pegging shoes, for the lucra- tive sum of fifty cents per day. I may as well state here that he is the hero of my story, and I hope none of my readers will think any the worse of him for working in a shop I am aware that it is considered more " genteel " to stand behind a counter, and display goods to customers, even if the wages are smaller.
