Letter: A unique loss to British culture

Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Sir: The announcement of the sale of the 'Three Graces' (report, 29 September) brings to the fore the crucial question: who guards the nation's heritage? At this level it has to be the Government acting through Parliament.

The sculpture is undoubtedly part of Britain's cultural heritage: originally commissioned by a British patron for a specific British location. It is unique.

Yours faithfully,

DAVID COOMBS

Editor, The Antique Collector
