NOTE.

The Drawings of Old London, which form the subject of thisCatalogue, were made by Mr. Philip Norman, LL.D., F.S.A., in almostevery case from the actual buildings, many of which have since beendemolished or essentially altered in appearance. They form, consequently,an important record of characteristic examples of OldLondon architecture, chiefly domestic; and, from this point ofview, may be recommended to the attention of students. Thecollection was purchased for the Museum, in January 1896, onthe recommendation of Professor W. Middleton and William Morris.

The thanks of the Board are due to Mr. Norman for his courtesyin providing the whole of the descriptions of the drawings; andalso for revising the proofs of the present edition and lending theblock of No. 6, "The Old Houses, White Hart Inn."

The drawings can be seen by visitors, in the Students' Roomof the Department of Engraving, Illustration and Design (Room 71),at any time when the Museum is open, except on Sundays. TheDepartment also contains other drawings and prints of a similarnature; and a Topographical Index referring thereto.
