[WORLD WAR I] LUTYENS EDWIN: (1887-1976) English Architect, recognised for his war memorials, country houses and public buildings as well as his instrumental role in designing and building New Delhi in India. A good A.L.S., E Lutyens, three pages, 4to, Queen Anne's Gate, Westminster, 29th July 1919, to [Martin] Conway ('My dear Conway'). Lutyens announces 'If it is you that wish me to join that Stratford on Avon committee I will…but I am a bad committee man….' and continues to enquire 'How goes the H of Commons petition for the perpetuation of the Cenotaph in Whitehall', further remarking 'I do think Whitehall is the place…I understand the police see no objection to it on practical grounds. The site has been distinguished by the salutes of Foch & Allied generals & their armies, by our men & their great leaders. Another site would never acquire the same merit' and also discussing the memorial itself, 'I have had many suggestions for its elaboration with texts & with bronze figures at the corners representing sentries, but I think it is better as it is, a mirror of stone which reflects to the observer his expression of what is in his mind with due solemnity. At the corners one might have the impressions of where the sentries stood incised in the pavement & then if you have bronze figures you could not use living sentries on days of ceremony', concluding by suggesting 'If it is made permanent I should like to be allowed to perfect it with digestion & alter ½ inch here & another there….' Together with a second A.L.S., E Lutyens, one page, 4to, Queen Anne's Gate, Westminster, 1st August 1919, also to [Martin] Conway. Lutyens thanks his correspondent for their letter and refers to granite and its surface, adding that it requires some thought and concluding 'Bless you for your kind help & encouragement'. Two letters of fine content relating to one of the architect's most famous designs. A small file hole and minor paperclip rust stains appear to the upper left corners of each of the pages of the letters, not affecting the text or signatures, otherwise VG, 2 Martin Conway (1856-1937) 1st Baron Conway of Allington. English Art Critic, Politician, Cartographer & Mountaineer, the first Director General of the Imperial War Museum The Cenotaph in Whitehall was originally a temporary structure erected for a peace parade following the end of World War I and was unveiled on 18th July 1919, the day before the parade. Some 15,000 soldiers and 1500 officers marched past and saluted the Cenotaph, including John J. Pershing, Ferdinand Foch, Douglas Haig and David Beatty. The memorial quickly caught the public's imagination and the Cabinet were put under pressure in Parliament to approve a permanent structure which, after consultation with Lutyens, they did at a meeting on 30th July 1919. Construction of the permanent Cenotaph, made entirely from Portland stone and with just a few alterations made by Lutyens, began in May 1920 and the unveiling ceremony took place in Whitehall on 11th November 1920.
