- 23 words plus 8 lines of verse are penned in black ink, filling one side of a sheet of his personalized, 7 inch high by 4-1/2 inch wide, black-bordered letterhead with his address printed at top right beside a vignette featuring 4 miniature cows. The letter has been mounted on a slightly larger piece of cream card. Signed "Thomas Sidney Cooper". There are 2 small, light stains to the left margin. Folded twice for mailing. Very good. Cooper sends his autograph, commenting: "I hope the Young Lady will more highly esteem the Autograph accompanied by the following lines". After signing the letter he adds eight lines of verse beginning: "Tis calm assurance 'All is Well' / Though how or where I cannot tell". Below the verse he writes "This is faith" and signs again with his initials.Thomas Sidney Cooper [1803-1902] was an English landscape painter noted for his images of cattle and farm animals. This earned him the name "Cow Cooper"--hence the vignette of cows on his letterhead. He was born in Canterbury, Kent and his home, Vernon Holme, Harbledown, Kent, which is now a school, is listed among the sites to see when visiting Canterbury.
