The publication of this collection of reproductions of water-colour
drawings would have been impossible without the willing co-operation of
the owners of the originals. Special acknowledgment is therefore due to
them for their kindness and courtesy, both in consenting to such
reproduction and in sparing the pictures from their walls. On pages xi.
and xii. is given a full list of the pictures, together with the names
of the owners to whom we are so greatly indebted.
We have also had the valuable assistance of Mr. Marcus B. Huish, of The
Fine Art Society, who has taken the greatest interest in the work from
its inception.
