11 Cerig-Gwynion, Radnorshire," by H. W. B. Davis, 

 R.A., from Mr. W. Melville Wills, and " The Departure 

 of John and Sebastian Cabot from Bristol on their first 

 Voyage of Discovery, 1497," by Ernest Board, from 

 Mr. Francis J. Fry. Mr. Board, it is interesting to 

 note, is a Bristolian, and the picture has naturally 

 aroused much attention locally. As regards acquisitions 

 by purchase, the most important is undoubtedly 

 " Wind — A Storm in the Highlands," painted by Peter 

 Graham, R.A., in 1873. It is a very fine example 

 of this well-known artist's work and is treated in 

 characteristically bold fashion. The Committee have 

 also been fortunate in securing a charming work by a 

 noted Bristol artist of last century, H. Brittan Willis,, 

 entitled " Saltwood Castle, Kent." 



BRISTOL ARTISTS. 



The list of Bristol Artists published in last year's 

 Report has been considerably enlarged, private enquiries 

 having elicited much information hitherto unpublished 

 with regard to some of the painters whose works are 

 rarely met with in Bristol, and some of whom are not 

 as yet represented in the Permanent Collection. The 

 enlarged list will be found on page 39. 



COPYING PICTURES. 



Permission having been given, four copies in oil 

 and one in water-colour of works in the Gallery have 

 been made by artists during the year ; one picture, 

 " Inspiration," by Herbert Schmalz, has been engraved 

 for publication in a forthcoming work ; and photographs 

 of certain Permanent Pictures have been taken and are: 

 now being sold at the Catalogue Counter.
