| Description | Taylor writes that Watts can only use Raffaëlli's colours using his guarantee as he does not yet know enough about their behavior to take the responsibility for recommending them; Taylor writes that he understands Raffaëlli's colours contain very little oil (linseed oil) and a large amount of wax, paraffin and resin; Taylor writes that he believes they are sound and durable from a chemical stance, but writes that wax is not considered a good substance from a mechanical stance, as it is apt to crumble over time; Taylor writes that he has written to Rathbone Place asking his people to send further sticks of colour required by Watts as well as a copy of 'Raffaëlli's pamphlet'. |
