Photographs of the principal pictures in the Permanent Collection, 

 taken by Messrs. Brown, Barnes and Bell, have been on sale during the 

 year (prices 2s., Is., and 6d.). As the fact of these being obtainable 

 becomes more widely known they will, no doubt, be in considerable 

 demand among connoisseurs and art lovers generally. 



The Committee acceded to a request from the Manchester Arts 

 Committee for the loan of the Rossetti Picture " Dante's Dream " for 

 their Autumn Exhibition. The opportunity of seeing this celebrated 

 work was very highly appreciated by the Manchester public. 



The Committee have also granted permission to several illustrated 

 journals to reproduce some of the pictures for their pages in the form 

 of wood and steel engravings, etchings, &c.
