Blank greetings card with envelope featuring:

Robert Southey NPG 3956

© National Portrait Gallery, London

by Sir Francis Leggatt Chantrey

This bust of the poet and historian Robert Southey was commissioned by his publisher, John Murray, but not accepted. Southey refused to give further sittings, writing caustically that as Chantrey was 'perfectly acquainted with the outside of my head, I have desired Murray to send him a book which will show him the inside of it'.

Card size: 125mm x 175mm
