Content Description
All of Spielmann's suggestions are most just. The bust of Francis Petrus Paulus was signed as an "artistic exchange" rather than for publication. Fate willed that it found a buyer at the Royal Academy exhibition, he was "in extremis" and his friends consented to the bronze being made.
Includes a press cutting of his letter to The Times.
