| Description | Expresses gratitude for the assistance Harrison provided during his stay in London, specifically regarding the engraver Gauthier. This act of kindness has prompted the writer to reach out to Harrison again with a request for further information on painter and engraver Jacques Christophe Le Blon. He is particularly interested in Le Blon's invention related to colour engraving, stating that Le Blon was active between 1720 and 1735, during which time he worked in England and produced colour engravings, including some that were used for tapestries. References a publication from 1731 in the philosophical transactions of the Royal Society that supposedly contains details about Le Blon’s invention crucial for his research. Suspects that the Royal Society might have more documents or records on this topic, dating from around the time Le Blon was active. Requests that Harrison check the Royal Society’s archives for any additional information on Le Blon and copies of relevant material,willing to cover any expenses involved in obtaining these copies. |
