COLNAGHI PAPERS. Vol. II. Album containing letters from Dominic Ellis Colnaghi, to his parents, other family members, and other correspondents; 1860-1873. This second volume, of similar nature and content to the first, comprises Colnaghi's time as British Vice-Consul in Missolonghi (until 1862), Consul in Corsica (1862-1864), Consul in Cyprus (1864-1865), Consul in Turin (1865-1872), and finally Consul in Florence (from 1872). There are numerous sketches, notes on archaeological excursions (including (ff. 71-74) a detailed description and plan of the ruins of New Pleuron), accounts of travels in Greece, France, Corsica, Cyprus and Italy (including a cutting from the Florentine newspaper Opinione), and supporting autobiographical recollections of a period which included Colnaghi's marriage to Joanna Sophia Beavan. Bookplate (f. i) of Dominic Ellis Colnaghi.
ff. i+450. Letters apparently formerly numbered 1-100 on album pages, although there are occasional fragments of other letters once affixed into the album, with former content annotations.
