HERKOMER (Sir Hubert von, 1849-1914, Portrait Painter)

Fine Autograph Letter Signed to Lord Shuttleworth regretting "we propose many things, but another power is always interfering with our plans & I am not sure for a week at a time. Since we spoke of a pleasant tour, ever so many things have happened! I am bound hand and foot ... time doesn't seem to exist any more! It may surprise you to hear that the other morning ... I had a big rehearsal at Syam & my sitter at 11 ... I had not even time to wash. But although punishing work goes on fully as ever ... as for a delightful will to call at your very interesting house, that seems to be permanently out of the question ..." 2 sides 8vo., Lululaund, [sic] Bushey headed paper, 17th July
