| Description | 'In reply to your communication of the 11th instant, the photograph of the portrait of Lord Lister, mentioned by you, was taken by the London Stereoscopic and Photographic Co, LTd, 3 Hanover Square, W.
I find, however, on referring to my correspondence on this subject, that it was first necessary to obtain the consent of the President of the Royal College of Surgeons, before this portrait could be taken: and I [explain] a similar consent would be received before the photographers could supply you with a copy.' |
