                <text>The Gilbert and Sullivan collection began about forty years ago when David’s wife Ann, jump-started the collection with gifts of the Vanity Fair prints of Gilbert and Sullivan and the collection’s first Gilbert autograph letter. This website displays 241 items of the vast collection that shows Mr. Stone’s dedication and love of the comedic geniuses. The Stone collection highlights many differing objects from W.S. Gilbert, Arthur Sullivan, and Richard D’Oyly Carte’s life and beyond. The building of the collection was made possible by the friendship, camaraderie, and support of many enthusiastic and knowledgeable scholars and fellow collectors on both sides of the Atlantic.&#13;
