Title	Copy letter from Charles Ruland to Andrew Fountaine explaining the purpose of the Prince Consort's Raphael collection and seeking permission to have his cartoons by Raphael photographed for the Prince.
Date	1 August 1860
Writer	Ruland, Charles; Librarian to the Prince Consort
Addressee	Fountaine, Andrew
Description	Ruland explains the Prince Consort's aim of collecting faithful reproductions of all Raphael's pictures and studies, so as to be able to trace the evolution of each of his pictures, of which there are not many engravings but which can now be photographed. He has learned that Mr Fountaine owns two cartoons for the tapestries representing Raphael's 'Massacre of the Innocents', and he asks whether they may be photographed for the Prince's collection.
