[ Autographs ] DANIEL CHESTER FRENCH (1830 - 1931) American sculptor of the seated figure of Abraham Lincoln at the Lincoln Memorial, and of "The Minute Man" at Concord. A.L.S. 2pp. 8vo., New York, Oct. 1, 1894 to an art critic. In part: "...There are no satisfactory photographs of the Post Office groups. They were made to be viewed from below at close range...neither this nor the fact that the O'Reilly is not finished or the Emerson figure will make any difference...I should like to express my thanks...for the notice you say he has taken of my works..." Light, stray pencil mark in text, otherwise very good.
