DANTE GABRIEL ROSSETTI (1828-82) A collection of four letters, comprising three 1p. a.l.s. by Rossetti to C.F. Hayward, dated 16 Cheyne Walk, Chelsea, Saturday, and Tuesday night, and Wednesday, and one 2pp. in response, dated 8 Adam St., November 9th, 1862, all concerning a proposed commission of Rossetti's for decorating a cabinet, the first reporting that the ' banknote I had of you yesterday has been stolen out of my pocket' , the second stating that ' I would be willing to do the 4 for #10, but could not for less. Then it would be simple work in brown on the gilding, but would include a head or half figure in each' , with the response from Hayward, saying ' Perhaps you can give us a bowl of flowers or fruit running up the centre of the panels ... I fancy only full length figures will do ... we would have liked ... the head of a tree filling the outline & a couple of figures plucking fruit', and a final note from Rossetti saying that carriers ' sent for the panels yesterday but they were not quite dry. So I told them to send again today and to bring the #6 due'. (4)
