Bookseller's description: "Autograph Letter Signed by the sculptor John Bell‚ to Leonard C.Wyon‚ about obtaining more copies of the Tercentenary Medal of Shakespeare “for which I had had the pleasure of making the medallion designs”‚ offering to show him a plaster cast of “a third medallion of the same size as the others” representing the infant Shakespeare. “Shakespeare is a subject that will never lessen in interest, which is an advantage that perhaps my design in reference to him possesses.” Adds that Bell knew Wyon’s father and mentions what Bell styles has his “remote” studio but hoping for a visit".
