TLS - Typed Letter Signed
American sculptor (1850–1931) best known for his monumental historical works, most notably the sculpture that forms the centerpiece of the Lincoln Memorial. TLS signed “Daniel C. French,” one page, 8.5 x 11, personal letterhead, February 14, 1920. Letter to W. F. Paris. In part; “I thought I was writing you a letter…but it was inadvertently directed to Mr. Edward L. Paris…What I wrote you is as follows, which still applies to the situation. ‘I naturally have been thinking over the matter of the bust of William Chase which you have so flatteringly expressed the wish that I should create. It would be gratifying to me for various reasons to make this portrait of my old friend, and I hope that it may prove possible. As I told you the other day, my price for a bust in bronze or marble is $5,000, but I should be very glad to make this bust of Chase for half of the sum, $2500, this sum to cover the cost of casting in Bronze.’” In very good condition, with intersecting folds, one through a single letter of signature, pencil notation to last paragraph, and light overall toning, heavier at edges. Accompanied by a carbon copy of Paris’s response. Chase was a well-known impressionist painter and teacher, who established the Chase School, which became the New York School of Art.
