Title	Copy letter from Charles Ruland to Frédéric Reiset asking his advice about an engraving after Raphael purchased by the Prince Consort.
Date	17 April 1860
Writer	Ruland, Charles; German Librarian to the Prince Consort
Addressee	Reiset, Frédéric; Curator of Drawings, Louvre
Description	Ruland explains that some time ago the Prince Consort bought some engravings which included a facsimile of a drawing by Raphael, made by M. de Saint Morys. But it is not mentioned by Passavant in his catalogue of the Cabinet Saint Morys, so Ruland cannot establish whether it is really a study for a painting by Raphael. He includes a tracing of it (not present), and asks whether it appears in Reiset's copy of 'Choix de dessins de la Collection de M. de Saint Morys', in which case he would like to know where the drawing itself is.
