Requesting payment for his etched portrait of George Moore, used as frontispiece in Confessions of a Young Man, published by this firm in 1888, and then acknowledging payment in the amount of 10 guineas and asking if he could have a copy of the book as well. This is a superb portrait, in which Strang’s highly detailed finish is offset by the brilliantly and economically drawn torso. Folded with slight marginal chips.
