Autograph Fragment (unsigned).
This Scottish portrait and landscape painter, friend of Walter Scott and Robert Burns, is often called the "father of Scottish landscape painting; as an architect, he designed Edinburgh's Dean Bridge and part of St. Bernard's Well; his many children were all artists of note as well. Autograph Fragment (unsigned), 3½" X 1" (irregular) tipped to contemporary 6" X 4" sheet, n.p., n.y. Curious and comical note, perhaps a postscript clipped from a letter, reading in full: "the sooner the Better / a Bad pen and worse / Ink." At lower left of the heavy stock sheet to which this is lightly tipped, an admirer notes his name and fame. Item #28608
