FrederickDielman –German-American illustrator and painter (1847-1935). ALS, one page 8 x 10, New York as theTreasurer of the Society of American Etchers.He writes to the publisher J. D. Waring discussing acceptable discountpricing for prints that were not paid for in a timely manner. Dielman’s letter suggests publishersfrequently faced the problem of artists being slow to pay for their orders ofbulk prints. The printer would attempt to recoup cost by selling them directlyat a discounted price. It appears the Society tried to shore up the market forall by encouraging an informal floor on how low the discounts could go toprevent dumping and depressing the market for other artists. While it is not true that all artists starveit seems many were hard-pressed to pay their printing bills. Dielmanwas a versatile artist producing illustrations for many books as well as someof the murals and large mosaic panels inthe Library of Congress. An interestingletter offering some insight into the commercial world of etching in the late1880’s. 41 W 10thAve. Feby 28th 89 Mr.J.D. Waring DearSir: Atthe last meeting of the Society of Am.
