1p., 4to. On bifolium. In good condition, lightly aged. The verso of the second leaf, bearing a seal in red wax, is addressed by Müller 'To the Secretary | of the | Manchester Exhibition'. Winstanley has written the picture's catalogue number (244) at the head. Letter and signature in a bold large hand. Reads: 'Sir | I take the liberty of forwarding to ye. Institution the picture of ye. Money Changers, Siout, Egypt. Price £45.' In its report of the exhibition (October 1842) the Art-Union singled out Müller's painting for praise: 'A work of the highest merit; the production of an artist who has secured a reputation second to that of very few who do honour to their country. The whole arrangement of this picture (money changers of Egypt) is excellent; it is full of strong character a deep reading of the human mind; and as an example of colour, it is in all respects masterly.'.
