Wilmarth Sheldon Lewis made it his life’s work to cement the legacy of Horace Walpole. The result is the #lewiswalpolelibrary at #yale. Step into the salon to see how tenacious the “born collector” was at gathering Walpoliana. #wilmarthsheldonlewis #lewiswalpolelibrary #yale #horacewalpole
Just a lovely copy of Walpole's _The Castle of Otranto_ (2nd ed. 1765) at the #LewisWalpoleLibrary. (yes, back on my bullshit at the LWL, but now with Gothic shenanigans!)
“Modern Grace, or, The Operatical Finale to the Ballet of Alonzo e Caro.” James Gillray (British; 1756–1815). Hand-colored etching on wove paper, 1796. Yale University Library, The Lewis Walpole Library, Farmington, Connecticut.
