Two Autograph Letters Signed to 'Mr. Perry'[, Secretary?, Royal Society of Arts].

British stage designer (died 1971), painter, writer and lecturer. Both items one page, octavo, and very good, though lightly creased. Both signed 'Maxwell Armfield'. LETTER ONE (docketed and bearing R.S.A. stamp): He has read the lecture by 'Mr. Davis', 'with great interest [...] our opinions on the subject seem to be identical! I should like to meet him some time if he is an accessible sort of person. [...] a series of such lectures issued as pamphlets with attractive titles would do a great deal towards a better understanding of the problem'. He will 'try to get something done for your competitions. I generally adopt a pseudonym for designing.' A statement of accounts 're the Everyman season' will be forthcoming. LETTER TWO: He is sending two photos as requested (not present). 'I have been looking through the specification of your competition for designers [...] if they were done full size to show the effeect of repeat they would be impossibly large to pack flat etc. Probably 1/2 scale is intended with a detail full size?'
