Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. PRITCHETT, Robert Taylor (1828-1907). Illustrator and painter. (famed for illustrating Darwin's Voyage of the Beagle). Autograph letter signed to B. S. C. Hall (The Art Journal). Clanfield, Horndean, Hampshire: Parchment House, 25 October 1876. 3pp., bifolium. Neatly written in black ink. Minor browning to folds and two small areas of adhesive residue to the final page; otherwise well preserved. Very good.  An excellent letter from artist and illustrator Robert Taylor Pritchett concerning an article for The Art Journal, written while the magazine was under the editorship of John Dafforne. Pritchett notes that he had not realised the article was to be returned, before turning to a detailed account of a local parish celebration in Clanfield, marking the arrival of a new clergyman. He describes decorations of evergreen arches, dahlias and flowers lining the road, and the participation of villagers and parish youth. Pritchett was a prolific illustrator and marine painter, and is best known for his illustrations to Charles Darwin's Voyage of the Beagle (1890 edition), as well as for his long association with The Graphic and The Art Journal. Letters relating to his editorial and professional correspondence are uncommon. Signed by Author(s).
