Лот 101 | Encouraging a young artist
LONGFELLOW, Henry Wadsworth (1807-1882). Autograph letter signed ("H.W.L.") [to F.R. Miller], with integral autograph note signed ("Henry W. Longfellow") to Mr C.F. Brot, Cambridge, 11 April 1878.

Three pages, bifolium, 114 x 178mm.

Longfellow helps a young artist, providing him with words of encouragement and a note of authorization. He writes, "[Y]ou have borne yourself bravely, and have triumphed. It is sad to think that such meanness can exist in the world. Alas! An artist's life is never without its thorns. But it has its roses also." He then quotes lines from Italian poet Alessandro Manzoni. The authorization is addressed to Mr Brot in Milan and allows Miller to draw one thousand francs. Provenance:
