Excerpt from Catalogue of Drawings by British Artists and Artist of Foreign Origin, Working in Great Britain: Preserved in the Department of Prints and Drawings in the British Museum The following volume, compiled by Mr. Laurence Binyon, is the first of a detailed Catalogue of the Drawings and Sketches by British artists, and artists of foreign origin working in Great Britain, which are preserved in the Department of Prints and Drawings. The catalogue is arranged in the alphabetical order of the artists' names. It will be completed in five or at most in six volumes - the last volume to contain a table of artists' names grouped historically, with full indexes of subjects represented, topography, portraits, etc. It happens that the collection includes an exceptionally large number of examples by certain artists whose names fall under the first three letters of the alphabet: hence the present volume only carries the work down to the end of the letter C.
