Blanchet sends Strachan best wishes for the New Year, to accompany a short letter which he describes as “pessimistic”; it deals mainly with a discussion of the negative changes taking place in his profession (disappearance of lead printing, beautiful paper, good inks and craftsmanship). His son, whom he describes as an excellent engraver, and who is the Technical Director of the Imprimerie de Compagnonage in Paris, has just published an important book of previously unpublished poems by Guillevic, with 15 large woodcut illustrations. He ends by regretting our period of “financial viability”, which no longer allows us to produce beautiful work because it is too expensive.Strachan/10/2/1/141accession numberStrachan/10/2/1/14110001952priref110001952urihttps://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/110001952https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/110001952referenceagent-149638adlib-agent-1496387376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8The Fitzwilliam Museum198119811981-01-10referenceagent-189422adlib-agent-1894228da3a831-a81e-353e-b00c-57283c841d23Blanchet, RobertStrachan/10/2/1/14Robert Blanchet to Strachan: letterobject
