General

Author: Hunt, Alfred William, 1830-1896. Summary: 1858 Mar 11, Embossed: "Athenaeum Liverpool"; Summary: Have forwarded "the Greenhouse" picture by Miss Hunt; price. Next year perhaps a better one than the one now lent. Good notion to have an exhibition-room not confined to a particular date: I would join such a society. Marked "Alfred Hunt, Landscape-painter." Note: "Miss Hunt" may be his sister Maria (see DNB). Annotator probably W. M. Rossetti.
