Description
Excerpt from Memoirs of Sir Robert Strange, Knt, Vol. 2 of 2: Engraver, Member of Several Foreign Academies of Design; And of His Brother-in-Law, Andrew Lumisden
Recommendation, yet when I see the Abbé Grant I Shall consider with him if there is any way of getting a recommendation directly from the Pope; for al though his Majesty has no difficulty to recommend you directly himself, yet his dignity and the cere monial of the court Will not permit him to ask a recommendation for you from another: and you may easily see the reason of it. If you make drawings Of the three pictures you mention, and engrave the two plates, I am persuaded you cannot see London these twelvemonth.
