| Description | Letter to Macdonald from Gustave Dore, Paris (with English translation), apologising for his late reply, due to the fact that he was away in from Paris on a tour for a few weeks, regarding Macdonald's request for a small picture, he finds that he has only larger ones at present, of figures and landscapes - estimated prices, £400 and £200 respectively, but if Macdonald wishes these, Breton will send small photographic sketches, but if he wishes him to paint a picture of the dimensions he mentioned, the price will be from £200, and will be delivered in approximately 2 months, and Macdonald can choose whichever subject he pleases, 16 February 1868. |
