18th June 1935

Dear Fülöp,

You will have received my telegram some time ago.^[1] We await your decision as to when Ferenc Herczeg^[2] should go to Paris. Dr Ottó Légrády^[3] would be very pleased (and naturally so would Ferenc Herczeg) if you were able so to manage your time as to be able to paint the Herczeg portrait between the 13th and 19th of July. This is made desirable by a whole host of situations and circumstances which I do not wish to bore you with, accustomed as you are to the way things work in Britain. Ultimately, however, we want to fit in with you.

I enclose the first colour print of your Horthy portrait [110886]. It was not printed using the same photogravure technique as we use for our cover images. It is a four-colour autotype, done in a small

print run exclusively for the Regent and for yourself.

We plan to bring it out in double size in our Sunday supplement, on the Regent’s name day or some other similar occasion.

We took enormous trouble in producing what I am sending you now. This is what can be achieved at the moment in Hungary. I leave it to you to pronounce a verdict.

I shall be in London from the 23rd of July to the 15th of August. I say this now just to let you know because between now and then we will communicate a few times, either by letter or telegram.

How long are you going to stay in Paris?

I have gradually managed to publish all of the photographs you sent me a year and a half ago. If you were to send me a few more, either of your most recent works or of older ones, I would publish those as well. If you send me colour photos I will publish them in colour, if monochrome then in black and white.

Please give my regards to your honoured wife.^[4]

Affectionate greetings from your old and true admirer,

László Siklóssy
