2808 Washington St. Hollywood, Florida January 3, 1962 Jacques Seligman & Co., Inc. 5 E. 57th St. New York, N. Y. Gentlemen: Having noted your advertisement in the "Art News" as specializing in paintings and drawings from the 15th Century to our day, I am writing to inquire if you happen to have available at present time a set of the 52 engravings known as "Raphael's Bible". If you do not have a set of these at the present time, is there a possibility that you might in the near future? I have been informed that sets of these engravings of the biblical paintings which appeared on the ceiling of the Loggie in the Vatican have been published by various engravers down through the ages. If you have had sets of this description in the past, could you tell me what the price range was? Also, do you have for distribution booklets or catalogs illustrating and listing the various paintings and works of art, with sales prices, which you have handled in your gallery. Also, if you operate on an auction plan or direct sale. Yours very truly, [[signed]] Ethel L. Danielson [[/signed]] (Miss) Ethel L. Danielson P. S. If you do not have any engravings of Raphael's Bible, do you have or could you tell me where they might be procured, a set of the cheaper electro-type prints of these biblical engravings? ^[[Danielson]]
