Excerpt from Notes and Queries, Vol. 2: A Medium of Inter-Communication for Literary Men, General Readers, Etc.; July-December, 1868
This°is the copper-plate print, most gracious Prince and Lord, which some time ago I mentioned to you to have executed to your Grace's mother's laudable com; memoration with the view to bring the said portrait into the possession of several persons of rank, acquainted with the illustrious deeds of this far-famed Princess.
But having invented quite a new and hitherto nu known proceeding, I have been able to print off from the copper - not thousands as from common plates - but only a few, owing to the subtlety of the workmanship, for which reason I have only a small number of copies to present. Of course I first of all make application to your Princely Grace, especially in dedicating the same to you according to the inscription at the bottom,' and for the following reasons: for the first, because the said oh ject - the remembrance of your mother - cannot but be agreeable to your Grace as being the nearest, nay the only Son of the reigning Princess. For the second, be cause I durst not omit dedicating a. Work of art so rare as never heard of before to such an extraordinary amateur of the fine arts as your Grace is.
