Jacques Seligmann & Co., 705 Fifth Ave., New York City. Gentlemen: We have been requested by friends in Italy to try to sell for them a series of six paintings by Albani of the 16th Century. This serie represents a story of Venus and Adonis, inspired by Shakespeare during the same epoch. The above six paintings have been at the Palazzo Grati Bologna until 1904. They measure 100 by 150 centimeters, and are very decorative. They have been used as panels and have not been restored. They have never been shown in this country, and are not known to any of the galleries or art dealers. These paintings can be purchased at a reasonable figure, we are told that they are of great value and believe that a handsome profit could be made by you when sold in this country. Trusting you will be interested, and awaiting the pleasure to hear from you, we beg to remain Yours very truly, TRANSATLANTIC SHIPPING CO.INC.
