The Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours - Special Number Spring 1906 [antikvár]

PREFATORY NOTE In accordance with the course pursued in the preparation of the special number of The Studio dealing with the " Old" WaterColour Society, the Editor has confined the illustrations in the present volume to reproductions in colours of the originál drawings. This has, naturally, limited the number of plates, and the work of many well-known painters could not, in consequence, be represented. But he believes that the selection he has made will be found to be representative of the varied phases of the art of water-colour painting as practised by past and present members of the Royal Institute. To those who have kindly assisted him by the loan of originál drawings the Editor tenders his cordial thanks, and in particular desires to acknowledge the aid he has in this way received from Mrs. Boughton ; Dr. Dyce Brown ; Mr. R. J. Coleman ; Mr. Frankland Gaskell ; Mrs. Gulich ; Mr. Hermán Hart ; Mr. Alfréd S. Henry ; Mr. J. Henry Hill ; Mr. A. T. Hollingsworth ; The Rev. William MacGregor ; Mr. Alexander M. Phillips ; Mr. Cecil L. Phillips ; Mr. Lawrence B. Phillips ; Sir Cuthbert Quilter, Bart. ; Mr. T. R. Way ; and Messrs. Ernest Brown and Phillips. He desires especially to acknowledge the courtesy of the President and Council of the Institute for allowing the reproduction of two diploma works.
