Irish-born American sculptor (1848–1907) of the Beaux-Arts generation who embodied the ideals of the ‘American Renaissance.’ TLS, one page, 4.75 x 7.5, personal letterhead, May 30, 1906. Letter to Mrs. Magee. In full: “I have had copies made and herewith return them. I also send you four mounted and four unmounted ones, in order that you may see what material I have. Will you kindly return the mounted ones to Mr. Pitcairn and the unmounted ones to me. As to those you have in Rome, if you could have a local photographer make copies of any that are not among those I enclose, I should be very glad indeed and of course would defray whatever expense there may be. If there is nobody that you can trust with them, I will wait until your return to Rome; that will no doubt be before I get through with the work.” Tastefully double-matted and framed with a portrait to an overall size of 17.5 x 14.75. In fine condition. RR Auction COA.
