Sender obviously asked the noted illustrator's advice for a young artist . 2nd letter has wonderful content :" Dear Mrs. Fioravanti, You ask me something which is very difficult, and I am afraid impossible. That is to judge a young person's work or advising about entering the art field without knowing him personally. One thing is certain. although copying is of course natural to the young it proves in no way creative ability. So if the work is a copy of a photograph or other artist's work, t is no way to judge the creative ability which is so essential. My suggestion is that the young man should submit his work to some good art school near you, and I am sure they can give you far better advice than I can from w I sit. I am sorry that I can not be of more help but this is what I beleive, and I do wish the young man all success. Sincerely, Norman Rockwell". Both letters are written to Mrs. J. Fioravanti of Shoemakersville Pa. Condition: Usual mailing folds : 1st letter has one horizontal fold through center, 2nd letter has 2 horizontal folds through center.
