The benefits of King Edward’s recent movement to have the Royal art collection put in order, properly arranged, classified and cataloged are extended to the public through the medium of Mr. Cust’s magnificent two-volume work. There are one hundred and eight photogravures which illustrate masterpieces of the Italian, Dutch, Spanish, Flemish, German and English schools. The author furnishes an introduction and descriptive text which aid the illustrations in forming “a precious record of one of the finest collections of the world.”
“The public ... is certain to be grateful that the Royal commands have been so thoroughly and adequately executed by Mr. Lionel Cust.”
