A VICTORIAN CORRESPONDENCE 1891-98 a fascinating accumulation of covers, most with their original letters intact, between a Dr. Joseph Roberts and his sweetheart Miss Ethel Wright. It would appear his work took Dr. Roberts to reside at various addresses in North Wales and mostly northern England; Miss Wright mostly resided in Lymm, near Warrington, also Blackpool and later in Hampshire. They wrote to one another frequently and the letters contain chit-chat and the minutiae of day to day life, Dr. Roberts sometimes mentions his work, referring to sick patients, a work house where he was medical officer etc. We also see a few letters from other family members. Each envelope franked with 1d lilac die II, cancels include various squared circle marks, duplex cancels, hooded circles and circular date stamps. Super lot, very unusual to have both sides of a correspondence and shines a spotlight on day to day life and relationships in late Victorian Britain (approx 500 covers with letters).
