Historical Background
Read at meeting of Council on 7 June 1813.
Content Description
Announcing the death of Edmund Garvey, on 28 May 1813 and his internment at Covent Garden parish church on 3 June 1813. The letter is less than fulsome in its assessment of Garvey's abilities as an artist, but pays a warm tribute to his character and contribution as an Academician.
