James Gandon (1743-1873) A one page letter, holograph, signed and dated, ''This 12th Sept. 1781'' and headed, to 'Paul', verso, addressed, -To Mr Sandby, St. Georges Row- and with red wax seal with monogram JG Of the utmost interest, this intimate letter to his great friend Sandby, the artist, dates from Gandon's early clandestine time in Dublin commencing his work on the custom house. The macinations of Beresford et al in realising this project are too well known. The anxious queries about his family which he was obliged to leave in London and his comments on 'Old Malton' and 'the Young One' give immediacy to this fascinating document from a man, who at the time of writing, did not realise that his architecture would make Dublin the great neo-classical city that ''The Young One'' would immortalise in aquatint.
