Excerpt from Catalogue of the Royal Picture Gallery in Dresden: With an Historical Introduction, Notices Concerning the Acquisition and Signatures of the Paintings, and a Price-List of Engravings From Pictures in the Gallery
The fifth edition of this Catalogue now before the public, serves to mark the completion of a period of five and twenty years which have elapsed since the removal of the Royal Collection of Pictures to the New Museum. It was necessary to take advantage of this interval to rearrange the Artists and their Pictures in the historical order which had been interrupted by the various acquisitions made during this time. For this purpose it was requisite to re-number the pictures, a change which although rendering previous Catalogues useless could be no longer deferred.
