Royal Holloway College Gallery, who spent two 

 days in photographing the masterpiece; and also to 

 Sir Evan Spicer of the Dulwich Gallery and to my 

 sister, Mrs. Carrington, through whose joint efforts 

 the arrangements were perfected. 



I also wish to thank the Trustees and Guardians 

 of Shakespeare's Birthplace, who, through their 

 Secretary, Mr. F. C. Wellstood, have supplied me 

 with several photographs of the Shakespeare Garden 

 at Stratford-upon-Avon, especially taken for this 

 book, with permission for their reproduction.
