Title	Letter from Robert Bingham to Dr. Ernst Becker informing him that he has finished photographing drawings at the Louvre and others sent by Baron de Triqueti and will send the prints shortly, and that he has arranged to go to Lille.
Date	31 October 1859
Writer	Bingham, Robert J.; photographer
Addressee	Becker, Ernest, Dr.; Librarian to the Prince Consort
Description	Bingham states that he has finished photographing the drawings at the Louvre and those sent to him by Baron de Triqueti. He has had a meeting with Mr Kuhlmann of Lille; he has permission to reproduce the drawings there, and will be going there next week. Frédéric Reiset at the Louvre, however, objects to photographs of their drawings being sold in London; copies are to be made only for Prince Albert, so Bingham will destroy the negatives afterwards. He notes that the drawing [?of St] Paul is in the collection.
