Sinopsis

Excerpt from Recollections of a Court Painter

Cifully overlooked by the indulgent reader. Unlike some of my political friends, I have never learnt the art of sitting on a fence, more over being an independent-minded person, that position would not be agreeable to me. I tell my story with frankness and candour, exactly as I would relate it to a sympathetic friend, who having enjoyed my hospitality patiently endured his host's loquacity. The early period of my life passed in Florence, enriched by the corre spondence with which Her Royal Highness the late Duchess of Teck honoured me, I sub mitted for corrections or abridgments to Her Majesty the Queen. I had several interviews with the Duke of Teck on Her Majesty's behalf, and as now published, his wishes, corrections and abridgments have been faithfully carried out.
