DLA036-0021 Translation

P.S.

Just as I was finishing my letter, the photographs were brought in, so I am now sending them to you.^[1] I should add that City Hall placed a beautiful flower arrangement under your paintings this morning,^[2] but that was after the photographs had been taken. I have now sent the photographer back so that he can take pictures of what is a really extraordinarily good-looking wall.^[3] It appears that the organisers couldn’t think of a better solution and in the interests of symmetry – or who knows for what reason – they have hung Gyula Sárkány’s^[4] portrait of the Speaker Almásy^[5] there as well.

Editorial Notes:

Likely a postscript to DLA036-0019, letter from Dr László Siklóssy de Pernesz to de László, 5 October 1935.

Doctor László Siklóssy de Pernesz (1881–1951), Hungarian art critic; for biographical notes, see [111404].
