Level
Item
Extent & medium
2 pieces
Content Description
He has not been able to give
Lucas the copy of the little figure of
Fame, just as he is prevented from giving a photograph of it to Spielmann. He thinks the image of his statue in Academy Pictures not very good. He prefers a picture that he took and sent to Blackburne. Spielmann does not understand how he is pressed by work. He does not produce as quickly as some. All he does has a cost far greater than any reward he receives.
