General Comment

Gotskalk Thorvaldsen fik ved sønnens afrejse overdraget gipsformen af dennes buste af A.P. Bernstorff, A856. Tanken var, at faderen kunne tjene på at sælge afstøbninger. Han indrykkede 17.7.1797 en annonce i Adresseavisen for salg af busten. Prisen var netop 10 rigsdaler.

Commentaries

  1. I.e. Pro Memoria – Latin for “in remembrance”, used to recall oneself to somebody. The expression was originally a polite introduction in letters to persons of a higher rank, often civil servants. Gradually it was also used more generally in letters to or from officials, often written in one word. The expression appears frequently in the more formal letters in the Archive.

  2. Kronprins Frederik (6.).

  3. Thorvaldsens buste af A.P. Bernstorff, A856.
