Includes primarily research notes, correspondence, and images collected and created during research for the Soldi catalogue (Ingamells, J. Andrea Soldi - a check-list of his work. Annual volume of the Walpole Society, Vol 47, 1978-1980, pp1.20.). Most of the images are anotated by Ingamells.
Also includes a small amount of material compiled post-publication, including further research, opinions correspondence, published material and a list of addenda to the catalogue created by Ingamells.
In 1970, Ingamells began to research, collect and compile information concerning Andrea Soldi. This work culminated, in 1980, in the publication of a check list of Soldi's work in the Walpole Society.
Ingamells' interest in Soldi continued throughout his working life. He corresponded with owners and dealers, collected images and meticulously annotated the published text with amendments and information about additional works. The numbering system of the original catalogue was expanded with all newly identified works being assigned an alphanumeric code. All material collected and received by Ingamells was organised accordingly, with pre and post publication material filed together in order to create a comprehensive and up-to-date record of Soldi's. In 2010, when the material was donated to the Paul Mellon Centre, Ingamells summarised all the the new information and annotations into a single document 8 page document (see file: JSI/2/6).
