Content Description

Lady Sandwich has introduced to him an artist of merit, Mr. Wolfensberger. The Queen and Prince Albert have admired his drawings. He also admires them and thinks they are designed more to make engravings rather than please wih colouring. They are views made during his five year residence in the east and in Italy. Wolfensberger is "tormented" by people wanting him to sell them.
