This is pretty cool!
It is a letter written 2-1/2 months after the end of the US civil war.
This letter is regarding a "a magnificent painting of scenes in New York life" to be displayed "all over the country commencing in August".
I love the idea that they will "paint in" the singer store.... sounds like modern marketing
I am trying to do the following:
- Figure out the name of the signer
- Determine if the painting happened and was shown
- Determine if the paintings are viewable today
- Determine of Singer store is portrayed in the paintings
