Godwin Diary

Blackman 10.5.1801 calls

Godwin must have been unsure of his name as he first wrote x x x and then Blackman in small letters above

talk of Pope Rembrandt Rubens & Raffaele 9.5.1801

on GD website Rembrandt is uncoded and the other three coded as unidentified. The only one in any doubt was Pope who was probably the poet Alexander Pope DNB 1688-1744 but possibly the actor and painter Alexander Pope DNB 1763-1835. The three famous artists need no comment
