Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Manuscript / Paper Collectible Signed
See the entries for Long, Forbes and Burgess in the Oxford DNB. 2pp, 12mo. In good condition, lightly aged, with traces of tape from mount along one edge. Signed 'Edwin Long'. Begins: 'Dear Sir Richard / I have just had a chat about your kind enquiry with my friend Burgess, who knows everybody'. While Burgess 'says Stanhope Forbes is the best man coming on & that he has painted some very good portraits', from what Long himself remembers of his work, it seems 'very black'. He concludes: 'Why not give it to Burgess? he is painting capitally just now & I know he would be very pleased.'.

Manuscript / Paper Collectible
8vo. 2 pp. on bifolium. To Frances Fleetwood Wilson (1850-1919), the only daughter and heiress of the Northamptonshire industrialist Fleetwood Pellew Wilson, responding to an invitation and eager to show her his latest works: "Many thanks for your very kind invitation to dine on the 3rd. I am so sorry I can't come. I hope your friends like your picture in the R[oyal] A[cademy]. I am painting three more portraits the same size as yours. You must come to see them before they go away [.]". - The portrait of Frances Wilson, who some years later would marry Prince Alexei Dolgorouki, a Russian Prince and Chamberlain to the Tsar, was noted among the best works in the Royal Academy exhibition of 1885. - On mourning stationery with embossed address. Well preserved but with traces of old mounting on the verso. Includes a small collector's note. - Lassalle, The Royal Academy illustrated, p. 54.
