Description

A fine reference to early photography, as Fillmore refers to “the steel plate of Mrs. Fillmore”

Letter to Madame Holloway regarding a silver plate of his wife. In part, “I have your favor…asking that the steel plate of Mrs. Fillmore may remain with Mr. Butler till Sept. to enable you to take some additional engravings and I most cheerfully grant your request…I have looked over your volume with a good deal of satisfaction & regret that your application to me for some facts came after I was committed in honor to another, which I will not characterize.” Matted and framed, so both sides are visible, with a color tinted engraved portrait of Fillmore, to an overall size of 17.25 x 14.5. In fine condition, with light toning to top and right edge, not affecting legibility. R&R COA.
