Letter

Scope and Content

From John Ward, who edited A Selection from the Liber Studiorum of J.M.W Turner (1890). The letter is addressed to C.P. Scott but refers to an art critique which appeared in the Guardian, possibly written by CEM. Ward praises the critic involved and offers thanks for the article, both on his own behalf and that of Frank Short (who wrote notes for the above volume). He mentions J.E. Taylor's collection: the proprietor of the Guardian was a great art collector, and among his collection were many Turner watercolours. Ward also refers to his own "book", possibly the above volume.
