MUSEUM AND ART GALLERY
Sir George Shenton has presented an excellent full-sized copy of
“Harmony,” the well-known and popular painting by Frank Dicksee R.A. The
original is in the Tate Gallery, London, and was copied by Mrs. Percy
Arnold, a sister of Mr. A. F. Grace, who painted “Back to the Old Home,”
for which the Gallery was two years ago indebted to the same generous
donor. The copyright of “Harmony” is the property of Messrs. Thos. Agnew
and Sons, who have kindly allowed this copy to be hung, on condition that
it be neither copied nor photographed.
It does not appear to be sufficiently well known that anyone may draw or
paint in the Art Galleries from any of the works that are not copyright,
on the condition customary in all the important Art Galleries of the
world. Application for permission must be sent in writing to the director.
