8vo. pp. x+80, with eight illustrations. Dedicated "to my wife through whose skill as a musician the never ending delights of Sullivan's music were first unfolded to me." One of Bell's Miniature Series of Musicians.
Portraits. Twenty-one reproductions are inventoried in the A.L.A. Portrait Index (Washington, 1908: p. 1405) including those by Millais and by "Ape" in Vanity Fair (1874: vi, plate 81).
CARTE.
The starting of the Gilbert and Sullivan operas: a letter written by R. D'Oyly Carte in 1877 to "My Lord" (unnamed), apropos of a proposal to form a small company to produce the operas. Printed in the Pall Mall Gazette, May 1, 1907.
The petition by the Savoy Theatre and Operas, Ltd., and Reduced, for the approval of the Court to the reduction of the capital from £75,000 to £41,250 was heard before Mr. Justice Walton, August 26, 1903 (Times, August 27). This led to a very interesting letter from Gilbert in the Times (Aug. 28) and one in the Telegraph by Mrs. Carte (Aug. 29).
Portraits. Four reproductions are inventoried in the A.L.A. Portrait Index (Washington, 1908: p. 259), including that by "Spy" in Vanity Fair (1891: xxiii, plate 498).
