General Notes

Note

In "Stowe Notes" (1913), E.M. Taber writes about Sintram and Audrey in a letter to his mother. "I go regularly every day to have a little fighting game with Sintram. Audrey is growing tamer and more gentle all the time. She begins to show white hairs, as if a star were forming in the middle of her forehead [...]" (May 19, 1894 Letter). This letter was presumably around the time he sketched the two horses.
