About this Item
An autograph letter signed by Havelock Ellis; a single sheet of 7" x 9" paper with writing on both sides. Very good; paper lightly age-toned with one horizontal crease and multiple small punctures around the border. Also included is a sketch, apparently of Ellis, on a sheet of 5" x 8" paper. Ellis's signature is in the bottom margin beneath the drawing. Dated April 5, 1931, the letter compliments the artist's talents despite having no formal training, and discusses portraiture based off of photographs.
