- Title:
- Franz Schubert: Folder in which Zweig MS 81A (Schubert’s autograph of ‘An die Musik’) was mounted before its presentation to the British Library
- Scope & Content:
-
As follows: f. 1. Portrait of Schubert, lithograph by Josef Teltscher, 1826, published by Mansfeld & Co.; [1829]. The first of the two versions issued by Mansfeld & Co., with below the image a reproduction of Schubert’s signature and the words ‘Ehrenmitglied der Musik-Vereine zu Grätz und Linz. / Geboren zu Wien den 31. Jänner 1797, gestorben / den 19. November 1828.’. Originally mounted within 2 below, facing Zweig MS 81A. f. 2. Folder of pink paper-covered boards, calligraphically lettered on upper cover ‘Originale / von / Franz Schubert.’ Beneath this is the added inscription ‘Autographe de Schubert offert a Madame l’Ambassadrice de France par son devoué serviteur Landsberg’, ‘Rome 2 May 1852’.
The manuscript of ‘An die Musik’ was completely pasted down into this folder, made for it, apparently by the collector Ludwig Landsberg, before 1852. It was lifted and removed in the British Library. The published reproduction shows the assembly as it was, with the manuscript facing the portrait inside the folder.
