Illustrated letter from John B.Yeats, 317 West 29th street, New York to Mary Cottenham Yeats.
Description
John B. has rethought the representation of the German commander detailed in an earlier letter of same date. He now suggests he is represented in ship uniform with children following him, ‘yet keeping their distance as from a mad dog’. He includes an ink sketch of the proposed composition and adds ‘Jack can do in his work what I cannot even attempt. He can impart a trick of tragedy.’
