John Parker Davis letter to Albert B. Paine
Manuscripts
A letter from John Parker Davis to Albert B. Paine in response to questions posed by Paine for his biography of Thomas Nast. Thomas Nast (1840-1902) was born in Germany and became the most famous 19th century American cartoonist and caricaturist. Davis goes on at great length describing his memories of Nast and corrects various facts and anecdotes Paine might include in the biography. Davis also includes reminiscences of other famous engravers and historical figures such as Solomon Eytinge and Abraham Lincoln. The letter is autograph with typewritten pages inserted between various pages; some autograph pages have been trimmed with loss of text. Accompanying the letter is a typewritten list of names and dates of persons mentioned in the letter; there is also a slip of paper with the number 397, perhaps a lot number from an auction sale as the letter does have penciled manuscript dealer notations.
