Sobre este artículo
Manchester.: J. E. Cornish., 1900.. Original publisher's printed wrappers, with the lithographs loosely inserted.. Folio. (Sheet size 305 x 440 mm).. Illustrated with 12 lithographed portraits on rectos only, each with a leaf of text. A complete and unsophisticated copy of William Rothenstein's 'Manchester Portraits' series.The Manchester Portraits consists of twelve portraits of the following Mancunian personalities - Mr A. Brodsky, The Misses Gaskell, Principal Hopkinson, Alderman Hoy, Sir Bosdin T. Leech, Dean Maclure, George Milner, Herbert Philips, Charles Rowley, William Simpson, Reuben Spencer, T. R. Wilkinson.Rothenstein found working on this project extremly dissatisfying. In a letter to Margaret Woods in September 1900 he refers to 'those dreary months at Manchester last winter, over a book of portraits, the last, I hope, I shall ever do'. The main problem was continuous arguments between him and Charles Rowley who, as well as sitting for one of the portraits, was the organiser and financier behind the project.Rothenstein's introduction to the portfolio is far from enthusiastic - 'Seven years ago, in the hopeful fashion of extreme youth, I joyously undertook my first book of portraits. Each succeeding one has proved a more serious task, and, with a growing conscience, I only now fully realize the gravity of an undertaking of this kind. The exigencies of my sitters are not always my own; at the same time, if an unsympathetic rendering of the features or character of any of those included in the present series cause them or their friends pain, I would take this opportunity of apologizing for my lack of insight.' [from the Introduction].Needless to say Rowley's proposal of a second series of Manchester portraits was abandoned.
