Elena Pistrucci letters to Henry Mogford, 1856-1859.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/54852460

The collection consists of a series of five letters from Elena Pistrucci to Henry Mogford, 1856-1859. The letters are concerned with her father's Waterloo Medal, loaned to the Crystal Palace for display, and her efforts to acquire season tickets to the Crystal Palace as exhibitors; the letters appear to be unanswered, and eventually she asks for the impressions of the medal to be returned.
