The Illustrations
The originals of the illustrations reproduced for this work were collected frommuseums, conservatories, antiquaries, public and private libraries, and other authenticsources in England and on the Continent, by Mr. Arthur J. Mundy, who spentseveral months in making a special search.
The authorities in London, Paris, Rome, Florence, Venice, Vienna, Leipsic,Dresden, Berlin, and other places visited, gladly assisted in making the collectionas complete as possible.
This material was placed in the hands of Mr. Karl Klauser, who made valuableadditions to it from his private collection of authentic portraits. A lifelong studyof this subject enabled him to contribute valuable notes and comments on theillustrations.
