FORD MADOX BROWN, PRE-RAPHAELITE PAINTER (1821-1893); a handwritten and signed letter which reads: ‘1 St Edmund’s Terrace, N.W. Jan 5/92. Dear Mrs Brockbank, I have received the poem & have read it with much interest & pleasure; the last line, in particular, is exceedingly fine, &, indeed, gives a new interpretation to the picture which inspired it. I always marked something out of the common in Miss Brockbank, & this bias for literature, of which you speak, does not surprise me. Only I am sorry for the reason you give for not leaving off punctuations. I am just now very hard at work trying to finish off my 11th mural painting for the Town Hall, when I come down to ? it, I hope to be well enough to call. With kind remembrance to Miss and Mrs Brockbank, very truly yours, Ford Madox Brown’. The letter is on watermarked paper and is pasted down from the back blank page within a sleeve. Accompanying the letter is a chalk drawing of a robed figure by repute by Edward Burne-Jones, unsigned, 25 x 13cm, framed and glazed (2). Provenance: Mr Edward Brockbank was a patron of some of the Pre-Raphaelite painters and this may be the husband of Mrs Brockbank to whom Ford Madox Brown has written. The Town Hall murals mentioned in the letter are possibly the set of twelve murals for Manchester Town Hall started in 1879 and completed on the year of Madox Brown’s death in 1893. No 11, mentioned in the letter, is ‘The Opening of the Bridgewater Canal A.D. 1761’.The letter and sketch were purchased by the vendor in the mid-1960s from the Folio Society. The vendor had the sketch framed but has no provenance. The back of the sleeve for the letter has a label for Documents and Autographs Ltd, stock number Doc.2945.
