General

The records which C. R. Cockerell created during his time in Greece and Greater Greece, or which are directly relevant to his travels, are now rather scattered. A short summary of the records created by Cockerell through his life can found on the National Archives website, but known collections important for his travels are discussed below. Individual documents are referenced and discussed where relevant in the foregoing chapters and the notes to the edited letters.

There may be further relevant documents in the archives of Cockerell's close associates. Material in the papers of Haller von Hallerstein in the University Library, Stuttgart, is possible, although this has been thoroughly researched by Bankel; further material relating to Haller is in the Bavarian archives. Relevant material may exist in the archives of John Foster, whose two sets of drawings of the Bassae frieze are in the British Museum and the Gennadius Library; also of Otto von Stackelberg (see N. Stackelberg 1882, Otto Magnus von Stackelberg. Schilderung seines Lebens und seiner Reisen in Italien und Griechenland, und Tagebuchern und Briefendargestellt, Heidelberg); Jacob Linckh (see P. Goessler 1930, Jacob Linckh, ein wüttembergischer Italienfahrer, Philhellene, Kundstsammler und Maler, Stuttgart); Peter Brøndstet in the Royal Library, Copenhagen; Louis Fauvel (see C. Clairmont 2007, Fauvel. The First Archaeologist in Athens and his Philhellenic Correspondents, Zürich); and Georg Gropius, a few of whose sketches are in the British Museum (F. Hasluck 1911/12, ‘Topographical Drawings in the British Museum Illustrating Classical Sites and Remains’, Annual Brit School Athens, 18, 270–81).

Relevant material may also exist in the archives of the British men who were in Greece, Greater Greece and Italy during the first two decades of the nineteenth century; for example, that of Edward Dodwell, who drew the Temple of Apollo at Bassae in 1806, and corresponded with Fauvel over the measurements of the columns (J. McK. Camp II 2013, In Search of Greece. Catalogue of an Exhibition of Drawings at the British Museum by Edward Dodwell and Simone Pomardi from the Collection of the Packard Humanities Institute, 116–19). Cockerell made hundreds of drawings while he was away, sometimes drawing several versions of the same scene, and he was (distressingly frequently) not always careful to note their provenance on the drawings themselves, making identification difficult or impossible.
