PREFACE

The publication of this collection of reproductions of water-colourdrawings would have been impossible without the willing co-operation ofthe owners of the originals. Special acknowledgment is therefore due tothem for their kindness and courtesy, both in consenting to suchreproduction and in sparing the pictures from their walls. On pages xi.and xii. is given a full list of the pictures, together with the namesof the owners to whom we are so greatly indebted.

We have also had the valuable assistance of Mr. Marcus B. Huish, of TheFine Art Society, who has taken the greatest interest in the work fromits inception.
