Anglo-American genre painter and illustrator (1833–1905) known for his paintings of Puritan life, as well as his illustrations for The Scarlet Letter, Rip Van Winkle, and Longfellow’s poems. ALS signed “Geo. H. Boughton,” one page, 4.5 x 7, West House letterhead, October 11, 1881. Letter to a gentleman. In part: “The only American artists I can think of are the irrepressible Jimmy Whistler—(and as ladies are to be present)—Mrs. Merritt…I can’t think of any others unless Hennessy is in town.” In fine condition, with a central horizontal fold, light toning, and a trivial ink notation to the top border. He befriended Whistler in London along with a number of other members of the arts community, including Henry James.
