STRUTT

Fine Autograph Letter Signed to 'Dear Madam' thanking her for "The Animal Friend" with "the pretty photographs of the privileged & happy animals under your control. I take it that you are standing at the door. I am glad that the reproduction of the 'First Sight of the Cross' has come so well & hope it will be very useful. The illustration of the ... at the pump is by my son who is a very able animal painter & a great lover of them too. I wish the words 'not to be sold' were more generally used. The exportation of our old and crippled mares to the continent is a scandal. I think that the English are the only real lovers of animals, but alas, that we have so many vivisectors amongst us ...", 3 sides 8vo., Wadhurst, 1st February

Strutt was born in Devon to a family of artists. He moved to Australia in 1850 where he lived for several years and married. They stayed there until 1862 when they left as he did not want to bring his children up in what he perceived to be a godless society. He spent time in New Zealand and did some notable paintings of the country.
