A propos de cet article

See his entry, with those of his brother and of Manby, in the Oxford DNB. 2pp, 16mo. On the first leaf of a bifolium. In good condition, lightly aged, with strip of tape from mount adhering to the blank second leaf. Good signature with attractive flourish: Chas Landseer . Begins: My dear Manby / I don t know what Knight means by saying C. L is rich, but I do know that if I had a ticket for the private view left, I would have given it to Mrs. Manby with the greatest pleasure. He is sure there is something wrong in the political economy of the R. A , as he finds that the supply of tickets by no means keeps pace with the demand .
