Excerpt from Guide to an Exhibition of Drawings and Sketches by Old Masters and Deceased Artists of the English School, Principally Acquired Between 1895 and 1901 The drawings exhibited are divided into two series. Series A consists of the work of the foreign schools, and occupies all the cases on the floor of the room except one, as well as the central screen. Series B, consisting of the works of English artists or artists of foreign origin working entirely in England, is set out in the wall-cases lining the room, and runs over into one table-case. Both series begin immediately to the left of the visitor as he enters from the Glass and Ceramic Gallery. The swing-frames in the middle of the room are for the present still occupied with the collection of seventeenth century etchings which was placed there in 1899 to supplement and furnish com parisons with the work of Rembrandt. The following guide has been compiled for the most part by Mr. Laurence Binyon, assistant in the Department of Prints and Drawings. The attributions of two drawings, Nos. A 8 and A 49, have been suggested by Mr. Berenson. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
