English School. 

 Drawings. 



The principal acquisition of the year in this class is the collec- 

 tion of water-colour drawings, seventy-five in number, of which only 

 fifty-two belong strictly to the English school, bequeathed by the 

 Rev. C. J. Sale (d. 1896), to which must be added nine water- 

 colours (four by David Cox, two by Copley Fielding, and three by 

 J. M. W. Turner, R.A.) bequeathed by his widow, Mrs. Mary Sale, 

 of Wick Episcopi, near Worcester, who died on January 25th, 1915. 

 The Sale bequest includes eighteen specimens of David Cox, includ- 

 ing two of unusual size and importance, " The Vale of Clwyd " and 

 " Beeston Castle," as well as many others of smaller size, but greater 

 artistic interest, which add much in variety of style to the large 

 collection of Cox's work already in the department. Three 

 specimens of Turner's work, " St. Agatha's Abbey, Easby," " Glacier 

 des Bossons," and a Venetian subject, " Storm on the Lagoons," are 

 notable acquisitions. The collection also includes specimens of the 

 following English artists, many of whom were not hitherto represented 

 in the department : — G. Barrett, jun., R. Beavis, C. Branwhite, W. 

 Callow, G. Cattermole, T. S. Cooper, R.A., P. DeWint, M. Birket

 jun., D. Roberts, R.A., F. J. Skill, F. Smallfield, F. Tayler, H. B.

 by whom are included in the bequest, are Guido Bach, Carl Haag,
