Excerpt from J. Pierpont Morgan Collection of Drawings by the Old Masters Formed by C. Fairfax Murray, Vol. 3: Two Hundred and Forty-Seven Plates Selected From Examples of the English, French, German, Flemish and Dutch Schools The Collection was commenced in Italy, but the greater part of the drawings were purchased in England during the last thirty years, notably from the Palmerston, Aylesford, Warwick, Holford, Robinson, and Knowles Cabinets, and other sources too numerous to mention. One or two small but important Collections were purchased entire, the Tighe volume being the best of these.
