LEADER (Benjamin Williams, 1831-1923, Painter, R.A.)

Brief Autograph Letter Signed to Miss Longfield saying he is “very pleased to grant your request...”, 1 side 8vo., Burrows Cross, Gomshall, Guildford headed paper, 24th June

Leader's early works bore the influence of the Pre-Raphaelites with their attention to fine detail and emphasis on painting from nature "en plein air". In his later years he adopted a looser style which was more impressionistic rather than being an exact copy of nature and this proved to be more popular.
