Seller Notes: “7th Earl of Elgin, Thomas Bruce - 'Elgin Marbles' controversy - rare signed hand written letter. In ... “7th Earl of Elgin, Thomas Bruce - 'Elgin Marbles' controversy - rare signed hand written letter. In the letter, Elgin writes to 'George' and enquires about the cost of a carriage that is available for sale. Lord Elgin, was a Scottish nobleman, diplomat, and collector, known primarily for the controversial procurement of marble sculptures (known as the Elgin Marbles) from the Parthenon and other structures on the Acropolis of Athens.The actual procurement of ancient marbles from Athens formed no part of Elgin's first plan (originally he just wanted to make casts & drawings). The decision to remove marbles attached to structures was made on the spot by Philip Hunt, Elgin's chaplain. Elgin's agents removed about half of the Parthenon frieze, fifteen metopes, and seventeen pedimental sculpture fragments, in addition to sculptured slabs from the Athenian temple of Nike Apteros, and various antiquities from Attica and other districts of Hellas.”
