Letter from Sir G. F. Warner to Emery Walker dated 13th November 1911. Found in ‘Miniatures and Borders from a Flemish Horae’, produced in honour of the retirement of Warner from the British Museum. THE OAKS, BEACONSFIELD. 13 Nov. 1911 Dear Mr Emery Walker, Now that the copy of the charming little volume issued in my honour has been distributed I must write you a few lines to express not only pleasure it was to me to see your name in the list of subscribers but my admiration of the photogravures for which you are responsible. I have had some experience, and they appear to be quite extraordinarily good, so much so that I am anxious to know whether any special improvements have recently been made in the process. I am sure you must have taken the utmost pains to [achieve] such results from very difficult subjects. With kindest regards Yours very sincerely G. F. Warner[i] There is an envelope for the letter addressed to: Emery Walker Esq. 7 Hammersmith Terrace London W. [Footnote: [i]Sir George Frederic Warner (1845 – 1936) was Keeper of Manuscripts at the British Museum until 1911. CAW]
