Excerpt from Guide to an Exhibition of Drawings and Sketches by the Old Masters: Principally From the Malcolm Collection, and of the Engravings of the Early German and Italian Schools, in the Print and Drawing Gallery The examples belonging to the Malcolm collection are in the proportion of about two to one to those belonging to the Museum, and are distinguished by a stamp on the mounts bearing the collector's name and crest. In the following guide they are further identified by the letter M within brackets, followed by a number referring to the catalogue of the collection compiled by Sir J. C. Robinson (zud cd., 1876, privately printed). The progress made since the date of that publication in the exact study and comparison of the drawings of Old Masters has led, however, to the adoption of new names in many cases. Care has been taken, so far as possible, to place before students grounds and opportunity for judging moot questions of attribution and art-history for themselves.
