Letter
from Lowes Dickinson to Sir G. Scharf, director of the National
Portrait Gallery, dated 12 September (1870), remarking on a recent
visit to the National Portrait Gallery. |

the arrangement
of the Pictures has subordinated the inferior to the better works,
but certainly the impression it made upon me the other day was
vastly pleasanter than when I was in the old Rooms.
I should like to know some time when you are at leisure and perhaps
I will call & ask you when I return to London whether the
Trustees intend to loan any pictures to the Great Exhibition
at Kensington next year. If so I might ask for the loan of Cobden
for that purpose. I say I might, not that I shall, because the
picture cannot possibly be seen better than where it hangs |
