Letter by John Pye, 1836 Dec 1, 42 Cirencester Place, Fitzroy Square [London], to T. L. Donaldson and Charles Fowler, Hon Secs RIBA
Pye thanks the RIBA for allowing him to attend its meetings and presents a pamphlet [containing his evidence relating to the art of engraving, taken before the House of Commons Select Committee on Arts and Manufactures, 1836.].
Patronage of British Art
In the autumn of 1846 a correspondence was opened in 'The Times' on the subject of the cleaning and restoration of the national pictures. The Keeper of the Gallery, Mr. Charles Eastlake, was accused of restoring good pictures and purchasing bad ones. The attack was led by the picture-dealer and former artist, Mr. Morris Moore, writing first under the pseudonym of "Verax" and later his own name.--Cf. Ruskin.
John Pye
Correspondence with various artists and patrons, and papers relating to the work of engravers, to the Associated Engravers, and to the engraving of work by J.M.W. Turner (including the Liber Studiorum), and the publication: Engravings from pictures in the National Gallery. Also includes copies of journal articles concerning J.E. Millais, 'The Holy Family', and biographical notes on Pye.
