- Scope and Content:
- "Dear Mr. Redgrave, I was very much interested in a picture in this years Exhbt. Of Old Masters by Vander Meer of Delft from the Windsor Castle collection [Vermeer's The Music Lesson, exhibited at the 1871 Winter Exhibition as Music Master and Pupil. Now at Buckingham Palace]. Lately having been in Holland I tried to see other works by Van Meer (as he signs himself. I found one at the Hague, one in the Hosp collection at Amsterdam & 2 in Mr Six's Gallery in the same city. I made inquiries but could not hear of other of his works. Perhaps you will kindly tell me if there are any in the Royal Collection, or any private gallery? Possibly you can tell me of works in which there is reference of him? He seems to me to have very high qualities, higher in most respects that any of the Dutch painters of sense. Would it be necessary to have any special order to see the Windsor picture. If so could you kindly send me one? Believe me Dear Mr. Redgrave, very sincerely yours, Henry Wallis."
