Autograph – art and artists – Sir John Everett Millais pre-Raphaelite artist fine autograph letter signed to Miss Gladstone [daughter of the Prime Minister] dated Palace Gate Kensington July 7th 1884 4pp 8vo. A good letter discussing the Blenheim Pictures saying that it was a subject of which he did not wish to trouble the Prime Minister but as time was of importance he felt he needed to write to her about it ‘...I earnestly hope that he will see his way to grant the National Gallery Trustees not less than £160 000. With that sum at their disposal I have good reason to believe that three of the Chief pictures the Raphael Rubens family portrait & Vandyke may be obtained for the Country...I will only add that large as the sum £160 000 undoubtedly is I don’t think Mr Gladstone will regret the outlay and I for one will rejoice to think his great name will be for ever associated with so splendid an acquisition as is now within our reach...’ The National Gallery purchased two of the pictures mentioned in this letter in 1885 – Raphael’s ‘Ansidei Madonna’ and Van Dyke’s ‘Charles I on Horseback’ with the aid of a grant of £87 500. Despite Millais’ encouragement that the Treasury should also assist in the purchase of the Rubens which in this letter he describes as one of the finest ‘of the master’; it appears that this one did not go into the national collection. Note: £160 000 in 1884 would today be worth just under £8million.
