About This Item
3 Clifton Hill Studios, N.W., undated. 4 letters, 11 pp., in good condition, with a separate sepia photograph of the young Stampa. George Loraine Stampa (1875-1951), black and white artist, a contributor to Punch and other illustrated papers and magazines, also designed posters for London Transport. The portraits I have been trying to paint lately from photographs have been ... breaking great lumps off my Spirit ... Now with one sad blow you have shattered the remaining slab, & I see like the pilgrim of love, theres no rest for me but the grave ... you pain me more than words can tell, or ears can hear, or crocodiles forget.
