| Description | Copy letter (dated 13 November 1923) from HP Dinelli, Central Library, Hammersmith
to
'Mr Mayor' [Sir Marshall Hays]
The Hammersmith portion of the Gardner Collection was poor; copies of most of the items were already held by the library. Would have liked to acquire a series of water colour sketches of old public houses, but was outbidden at the sale. In the end only a coloured mezzotint of Hammersmith toll-gate was purchased |
