H. C. Frick Esq. 5.
Angelo, and this bronze is considered one of the greatest of his
works; still I am not quite sure whether you would care much
about it, partly on account of the subject and also that it
might not be suitable to your gallery. However, I can only
tell you that it is a very wonderful and fine object.
I have only given you a description of just a few
things which are illustrated, but I should like you to bear in
mind that there are many very fine things which are not illustrated
which would interest you very much. Amongst others a
remarkably fine Gothic tapestry with gold ground of the 15th
century by Van Orley. This is another masterpiece.
The illustrations of some of the ivories, silver work
Limoges, Majolica, and some of the bronzes you will look at
with pleasure, and I am sure it will also please you to read
some of the comments and descriptions. Now, if any of these
things do interest you, a line from you would be greatly
appreciated by me. Anyhow I hope you will accept this copy
of the catalogue with my compliments, and that its perusal will
be to you a source of genuine interest.
I am very anxious to know how your house is
