Author:
Stratford Canning, Viscount Stratford de Redcliffe (1786-1880), English diplomat
Publication details:
Without place or date (but after his ennoblement in 1852).
On piece of paper, 11 x 17.5 cm. Lightly creased, and with a little spotting at head. Reads 'Autograph | of | Viscount Stratford de Redcliffe | given to Mr J. H. Hall | at his request.' It is curious that Canning should have thought it necessary to emphasize that the autograph was not unsolicited.
