Scope and Contents
| The Grant Richards Literary File consists of 103 items, about half of which are portraits of various people, including Finley Peter Dunne, Alfred A. Knopf, John Lane, John Masefield, Leonard Merrick, Walter Owen, Sir Arthur Thomas Quiller-Couch, Lynette Roberts, Elizabeth Robins, Rachel Annand Taylor, Louis Joseph Vance, and Gamel Woolsey. Some of these portraits are inscribed to Richards. The majority of the remaining images were used by Baron Albert Kaas and Fedor von Lazarovics to illustrate their book Bolshevism in Hungary: the Béla Kun Period, which was published by Richards' firm. An index at the end of this guide lists photographers whose work is featured in this file. Further descriptions of some items may be available in a card catalog in the repository. | ||
