작품 상세

DANIEL CHESTER FRENCH (1830 - 1931) American sculptor of the seated figure of Abraham Lincoln at the Lincoln Memorial, and of "The Minute Man" at Concord. Good content A.L.S. 2pp. 8vo., Glendale, Mass., [n.d., but docketed June 3, 1912], likely to the widow of John Quincy Adams Ward apologizing for not crediting her in a book with which he had been involved: "It sees as if, in everything one does, there is always some important thing overlooked and when I read your regret that your name was not linked with Mr. Ward's in the book, I felt as if we had indeed committed a grievous sin of omission. I have not yet seen the book and I did not appreciate that we had failed to give you the place in it which should be yours. Of course you know that this was not intentional. I am very sorry for it. I had to be in Boston at the time the Sculptors Society had its meeting in hono9r of Mr. Ward, when this book was distributed to the members and I suppose mine was kept for me, but I have not yet received it..." French began his artistic career in the studio of John Quincy Adams Ward (1830 - 1910) in the 1870s. Usual folds, else very good.
