Autograph Letter Signed Item
Description:

A 3.75\" x 6\" bi-fold, autograph letter signed (nd) by Lawrence Alma-Tadema who writes from London seeking a recommendation for a doctor seeking an appointment as medical doctor to \"the Works\" and that the \"torpedo builders are transferring now to this neighborhood\". Biography: Lawrence Alma-Tadema (1836 – 1912) Dutch painter. He trained at the Royal Academy of Antwerp, Belgium. He settled in England in 1870 and spent the rest of his life there. A classical-subject painter, he became famous for his depictions of the luxury and decadence of the Roman Empire, with languorous figures set in fabulous marbled interiors or against a backdrop of dazzling blue Mediterranean Sea and sky. Though admired during his lifetime for his draftsmanship and depictions of Classical antiquity, his work fell into disrepute after his death, and only since the 1960s has it been re-evaluated for its importance within nineteenth-century English art. Condition: Pin holes just below the salutation. Authenticity:
