Autograph Note Signed ('Danl. MacClise') from the artist Daniel Maclise to Henry Howard, Secretary of the Royal Academy, giving the title of his painting 'The Vow of The Ladies and the Peacock from The Chronicles off Froissart and others'.

1p., 12mo. In fair condition, on aged paper, attached by a stub to a piece of brown paper cut from an album. A fine, firm signature, employing an alternative spelling of the surname (the Oxford DNB notes that it was in 1835 that Maclise abandoned 'other forms' of it). Trimmed down from a letter, and addressed by Maclise on the reverse to 'Henry Howard Esqr. | R.A. | Secy.' The note simply gives the title, with Maclise's signature and address, as follows, of the painting he entered in the Royal Academy exhibtion of 1835. It reads: 'The Vow of the Ladies and the Peacock | from | The Chronicles of Froissart and others | Dan. Maclise | 63 | pper Charlotte St. | Fitzroy Square'. The picture (with the word 'Chivalric' added to the title) was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1835, and procured Maclise's election as A.R.A. A slip of paper cut from the Royal Academy catalogue for 1835 and carrying the entry for the painting, is laid down on the mount.
