Letters, 1833-1834.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/82539030

Collection includes the second page of a letter to the collector John Sheepshanks (1833) concerning a painting of Hampstead Heath. Constable expresses delight that Sheepshanks appreciates the painting, offers advice on how to maintain the frame, and explains his preferences regarding the framing of landscapes. Also a 2 p. letter to John Frederick Lewis (1834) thanking him for a gratifying review of "English Landscapes" (a set of mezzotint engravings of Constable paintings by David Lucas, published in 1830-1832). Constable notes that "the opinion of all our profession is in its favor." References are also made to Lewis' painting.
