Description

Sending thanks to one of his portrait’s subjects

Renowned British artist (1872–1898) who helped define the Art Nouveau style with his elegant, distinctively sensuous, often erotically charged drawings and illustrations. ALS, one page, 4 x 6, no date. Rare letter to Mrs. Patrick Campbell, written from the Spread Eagle Hotel. In full: “It was so sweet of you to rob your carriage of such a pretty cushion for me. I am quite delighted with it. It is so useful too, for I find a pillowless sofa in my sitting room here.” In fine condition, with a staple hole to top left. RRAuction COA.
