John Trumbull autograph letter signed, 1 page, 7.75" x 9.75", New York, October 25, 1834. Addressed to Prof. Silliman, this handwritten letter by the celebrated American artist discusses the shipment of two portrait boxes—one containing a portrait of Mr. Silliman, and the other,  portrait and a sculpture head most likely his father Johnathan Trumbull. Trumbull notes that he aimed to make the frames “as much like yours as I could procure.” He closes with updates on his ongoing work and personal remarks about recent visits. Boldly signed “J. Trumbull” at the conclusion. Light folds and mild handling marks, overall in fine condition. A desirable letter from the artist of the famed Revolutionary War scenes in the U.S. Capitol Rotunda.
