Scholarly Remarks and Key Set Data
Remarks
“Palladioing—I got a few more ‘priceless’ treasures (‘beeutes’) yesterday.—Have struck my gait.—It’s high time that in your eyes I have some of my reputation. Gosh how I had lost it.—Perhaps never to be regained. Paradise lost—Well I have a wonder of you on the hay—Sharp all over—& an addition—Multiplied—No Subtraction—No Division” (Stieglitz to Rebecca Strand, 30 October 1922 [YCAL]).
