Excerpt from Catalogue of Drawings by Dutch and Flemish Artists, Vol. 5: Preserved in the Departments of Prints and Drawings in the British Museum; Dutch and Flemish Drawings of the XV and XVI Centuries
The fifth and final volume of the Catalogue of Drawings by Artists of the Netherlands, entirely written by Mr. A. E. Popham, completes a work of which the first four volumes are from the pen of Mr. A. M. Hind.
Though in historical order it might have been expected that the volume describing drawings of the XV and XVI Century should be the first and not the fifth, it was explained in the preface to Volume I, published in 1915, that the necessity for prolonged and careful research required that the appearance of this section should be deferred to the end.
Mr. Popham has fully explained in his Introduction the system on which the results of his minute study of the early Dutch and Flemish drawings in the Department are presented to the reader.
