ENGLISH WATER-COLOURS BY LAURENCE BINYON, C. H. LATELY KEEPER OF PRINTS AND DRAWINGS BRITISH MUSEUM With a frontispiece and twenty-four plates. IN FRIENDSHIP AND IN MEMORY OF YOUTH PREFACE CAVING, long ago, spent ten years of my life in . cataloguing the English Drawings in the British Museum, I have retained an affectionate interest in the subj... more »ect, especially in the work of certain artists. In writing this little book, however, I have been greatly indebted to the labours of others. All those who are interested in English Water-colours know how much has been done in late years for the study of the chief masters, and the rescue from oblivion of minor but not negligible artists, by a group of scholars and enthusiasts Mr. C. F. Bell, Mr. A. P. Opp, Mr. Finberg, Mr. Randall Davies, Mr. Girtin, Mr. A. G. B. Russell, Mr. Isherwood Kay, Mr. Kitson, Mr. C. E. Hughes these and others by their researches have added greatly to our store of accurate and detailed information and a special acknowledgment is owing to the Walpole Society, founded in 1911, because it has provided a means of publication for so much of this work, which might otherwise have languished in manuscript or never been undertaken. All this fresh material, together with new facts and records appearing for the first time In Faringtons Diaries, was due to be collected and incorporated in a book intended for the general reader and at the same time a revaluation of the achievements of the school might well be thought desirable. I am indebted to Mr. C. F. Bell, Mr. Kitson, and Mr. Girtin 3 for information privately communicated, I wish to thank all those by whose labours I have profited, and not less those owners and authorities of museums and public galleries who have courteously allowed me to enrich these pages with reproductions of drawings in their possession, L.
