Homer, Winslow
(b. 1836
d. 1910)
Winslow Homer to J. Eastman Chase, 1882 Feb. [?]
Winslow Homer, Letter to J. Eastman Chase, February 1882. J. Eastman Chase papers, 1877–1917. Gift of Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Robbins.
Homer (1836–1910) spent the winter of 1881–82 in England at the North Sea town of Cullercoats, which inspired some of his best-known work. This terse, but informative, letter to his dealer is fascinating as Homer almost casually writes: "If you like you may cut off the life boat….” Homer is also very specific about the price he wants: $250.
