James Laver (1899-1975) was a British author, art historian and museum curator. For more than twenty years he was curator of prints and drawings at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. He was also a noted fashion historian.
David Tatham (1939- ) is the author of seven books and more than eighty scholarly articles, exhibition catalogue essays, and journal reviews concerning American art of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. He is presently (2010) a Professor Emeritus at Syracuse University, where he taught for many years.
The James Laver Correspondence consists of correspondence between Laver and David Tatham, Fine Arts lecturer and Dean of Men at Syracuse University. The letters are largely personal in nature, most of them regarding Laver's books.
