The correspondence details the nature of the relationship, financial and administrative, between the RSA and the Thomas Cubitt Trust in the development of the annual Thomas Cubitt lecture
The Thomas Cubitt Trust worked with the Society for a short period to develop a series of annual lectures on architecture and building. These lectures were published in the Journal. Thomas Cubitt had been a member of the Society. He, along with Henry Cole, Francis Fuller and Scott Russell attended the historic meeting with Prince Albert at Buckingham Palace on 30 June 1848 at which the Great Exhibition was born. The RSA-Cubitt Trust Panel was a sub-committee of the Committee for the Environment. It met three or four times a year and convened one conference or seminar annually as well as the Cubitt Lecture.
Includes invitation, guest list, programme, seating arrangements for dinner and menu.
