Content Description
Copy letter seeking the support of
the King in enabling the members of the RA to work as a body to form a collection of war paintings and drawings: to achieve this, members need a special licence to make studies of war scenes on the spot, in the same way as Government-appointed artists, many of whom are juniors in the profession, and known only to small sections of the public.
