Excerpt from A Selection of Drawings by Old Masters in the Museum Collections: With a Catalogue and Notes The present exhibition consists of drawings from all these sources. Captain H. Reitlinger kindly volunteered his services in helping to make a selection and in preparing the following catalogue, which is based mainly on that of'mr. Reid. The introductory notes to each section and the comments on individualdrawings have been written by Captain Reitlinger, not so much for the professed expert as for the general student, with the hope of fostering a wider interest in the Museum collections. If he has dwelt somewhat on the historical aspect of the drawings, it is With the belief that it is impossible to appreciate a drawing fully without some understanding of its relationship to the period and country of its production.
