Notable in themselves as successfully published and commercial supplements to the official catalogues, Academy Notes and their ilk (Hallett) provided artists' own sketches of their own paintings in black and white. Some are good (Clausen) and some (Poynter) are terrible. If nothing else the pages document the average picture shows of the 1870's, the epics and the duffers, the sentimental and the socially realistic. Look out for Blackburn's review of Long's Babylonian Marriage Market (now Royal Holloway College). |
