Since 1 90 6 thirt een e arly etchings and dry points have i come to light . A serious disturbance of the publ shed order would have been inevitable if these had been described in their proper place . To avoid this , and to enable the

e collector , notwithstanding , to insert thes subj ects in their right chronological order , they have been described at the 1 end of the volume (Nos . 2 3 each with a number of its own followe d by an indication (in brackets) of its place

i s n ow m e The catalogue believed to be co plet , and e very subj ect of which an impression has been preserved

m e has been i partially described , what ver degree of artistic m importance it may claim to possess . So e plates have

e m e been suppress d by the artist , and every i pr ssion of

m e e the , to the best of his belief, has b en d stroyed ; of these no record has been kept . There is only one plate here recorded of which I hav e not bee n able to see an im pression ; the unique proof of N o . 2 9 was sold to a dealer m m m I mm at Ha burg so e ti e before co enced this catalogue , and repeated efforts to obtain an exact description of it were fruitless .

To describe the rare and widely scattered works of the

1 8 8 1 0 1 m d ifﬁ cult years 9 to 9 was a atter of considerable y , and would have b e en impossible without the constant aid m of M r . Bone hi self and the invariable kindness of the

m m e numerous owners of his prints to who he introduced . Owing to the d ifﬁculty of obtaining at the same time a m m m number of i pressions of the sa e plate for co parison , ‘ I b e r d iﬁ eren c e cannot certain , even now , that eve y of I state among the early works has been recorded , but have spared no pains in endeavouring to achieve com

le n ess 1 0 m p te . The etchings of 9 3 are uch less widely 1 0 I dispersed , and since 9 4 , when undertook the pre

aration I v th e p of this catalogue , ha e been enabled by

b a o ch C . kindness of the artist and of M essrs . O and to examine every impression of every plate before they were

m e dispersed at all , so that the record of states is co pl te , and the number of impressions of each stat e is also

1 0 known precisely . Before 9 4 there is occasionally some m uncertainty as to the quantity of i pressions existing , m u but the nu ber given in the catalog e is usually precise , and in case of doubt the approximate number is ﬁ xed as nearly as possible through records kept by the artist . m I n the enu eration of states , trial proofs have been distinguished from published states whenever the plate can be said to have been published at all . I should consider such - a division indefensible if the states within the series of trial proofs were not themselve s numbered . m This , however , has invariably been done , so that in any cases there is a double series of states , the trial states m being distinguished by letters , fro A onwards , the pub lish ed states by Roman numerals . This distinction has G been ignored in the case of the early lasgow etchings , which w ere sold ' b y the artist directly to his friends without reserving even the most un ﬁ n is hed proofs if a m e . purchaser d sired to have the I t has been ignored , m again , in the case of so e later works which have been printed only in small numbers and have never been offered

. S 1 0 e to the general public ince 9 4 , how ver , the great ’ m maj ority of M r . Bone s etchings have been issued ethodi

b ach o . M . O C cally through essrs and , and it has then been his invariable practice to exclude trial proofs from the He m published issue . has reserved the for his own

an d of m collection that his publishers , or presented the ,

if . further duplicates existed , to a friend The states , R m distinguished by oman nu erals , begin in each case at

e the stage , determined by the artist , at which he consid rs m m the work suitable for sale , even though i prove ents may subsequently occur to him in the course of printing the edition . The alterations are rarely important , and m the quality of the i pressions throughout the states is , m as a rule , re arkably even , care being taken to destroy any inferior proofs , and to destroy the plate itself so soon i as it shows s gns of wear . The printing has been per m m for ed , with scarcely an exception , by the artist hi self, the delicate task of wiping the plate being never entrusted to other hands . The papers used for printing the early G lasgow etchings m were of the ost varied description , a thick white Van

1 0 n G elder paper being the commonest . I n 9 3 M n B o e ’ discovered at Messrs . Brooker s printing works a large stock

I O of ﬁ n e old J apanese paper of a dark creamy tint and silky texture admirably adapted for printing his dry points to ad

v M . antage . I t had been brought to essrs Brooker about 1 8 0 m m R . A. 7 by Edwin Edwards and Tho as Oldha Barlow , Some of it had served for proving the plates of the Etching

n . m Club , but since then the paper had lai unused Al ost ’ the whole of M r . Bone s proofs were printed on this paper

1 0 for over four years , but in the course of 9 7 the supply m began to fail , and a nearly white odern J apanese paper , m of a softer , woolly texture , and more unifor in colour , was substituted by degrees . A stout hard Japanese paper of a much yellower tint and also a very thin yellow paper have occasionally been used , but white European paper

ﬁ ve is scarcely to be found in the work of the last years , except in a few trial proofs . All meas urements have been given both in inches and in millimetres . I n the absence of any indication to the contrary they apply to the plate itself, height preceding width . W here no signature is mentioned , it is always to be understood that the plate is unsigned . No attempt has been made to reproduce the signatures x m e actly , since it is a com on practice of the etcher to mix m capitals with small letters , or to form so e of the 1 1 1 8B letters in reverse . I n a very few cases (Nos . 9 , 9 5 , ,

1 96) a monogram composed of the initials M and B occurs . The convention has been adopted of printing all other B i n scri signatures in italics . y another convention all p tions etched within the limits of a plate have been printed m in small capitals . I nscriptions written on the argin have generally been disregarded . Where more than one title

I I has been given to a subj e ct the alternatives have been

d eﬁ n itive . mentioned , one title being always adopted

References to collections in which particular prints may be found have been inserted only in the case of public museums and of a few private collections that are excep tion ally rich in rare subj ects or states . I have not j ud ged it advisable to mention the whereabouts of all the scattered prints that have come under my notice ; a change of owner m m m ship ight at any o ent render the reference obsolete . An e xception is made only w hen th e prints have entered collections for which some degree of permanence may reasonably be anticipated . Even then collections are not quoted when the print is of no special rarity . I n the case of museums the mention of a city implies that the print is “ ” in the principal public collection of that city : Berlin “ ” or Dresden , for instance , denotes in each case the “ ” “ ” h b n m m K . Kufer stic ka i et p ; Bre en or Ha burg , the “ ” “ ”

They a e represented in far more considerable numbers in the m S . museu s of Austria , Hungary , Prussia and axony I n S ’ cotland , the artist s native country , not one of his prints belongs as yet to any public collection .

I n conclusion I have to express my most grateful ao k n ow ledgmen ts for the kind assistance that I have received from friends and strangers alike in the preparation of this

M r . . M catalogue y thanks are due , before all , to Bone M himself for his constant and untiring aid ; then to M r . ayer

r R m e and M . othenstein for allowing frequent and repeated access to the rare proofs in their collections . Other private collectors in G reat Britain who have lent me their proofs or answered my inquiries are too numerous to mention ; I can only ask them collectively to accept this expression of m my gratitude . For infor ation regarding etchings in con tin e n tal collections I am indebted especially to G eheimrat S Lehrs , of Dresden (lately of Berlin) Professor inger , also

Dr . E . o Dr . . S of Dresden ; B o k and J ievers , of Berlin ;

Hab er d itz l . G utb ier , of Vienna Herr Ludwig , who has done much to win for the name of M uirhead Bone its

European renown , has also rendered frequent assistance .

The task thus far completed has cost m e many hours of m assiduous but pleasant labour . I f y friend the etcher and I m , the patient chronicler of his achieve ents , live so long , I 0 h pe to persevere in this congenial exercise , and publish in m due ti e the history of another decade .

m a v . He catalogue itself, y be of ser ice here was born on M 2 rd 1 8 6 G arch 3 , 7 , at Partick , a suburb of lasgow , as the — fourth of the eight children six sons and two daughters of of David Drummond Bone . The names several of the family will be found in the list of his early works : the m father himself ; J a es , the second son , j ournalist and art A critic ; Alexander , the sixth son ; nnie , the youngest

- daughter . But his most frequent sitter was a great aunt , M m m argaret Dru mond , whose bent for and thin , rugged features he has portrayed once and again with searching accuracy . M h uirhead was broug t up to be an architect , and he owes to that apprenticeship the thorough knowledge of

s i n ifican t construction , the extraordinary eye for g detail , and the sur e ness of hand whether in fin ish ed or in su mmary d a rawing , which no etcher could acquire who should p him proach architecture merely from the outside . For , however , drawing soon came to be of paramount interest , and he relinquished all thought of practising architecture fi rs m as a profe ssion . His t experi ents in the production of m prints were made in lithography , but merely for te porary

e and utilitarian purpos s . A poster for a B urns exhibition 1 8 6 held in 9 is in existence . The only lithograph that has

I t is indistinct and gritty , and has little but rarity to 1 recommend it to notice .

m 1 8 8 His earliest etchings and dry points date fro 9 . Like several etchers who have distinguished themselves in m after life by a style of arked originality , he found out the

d eﬁ n ite technique for himself, or at least without a course of study under any teacher or in any school of engraving .

He must have looked at etchings by the men who would naturally count as classics to a beginner of his

M er on W generation , y and histler , but he looked more at

. fi rs t e an d nature His record d print is a dry point , a slight W G charming sketch , rather histlerian , done at lasgow from a drawing made on the return voyage to Leith after his 8 fi rst to . 1 8 visit London The prints of 9 are experimental , fulfil m ff and do not always the pro ise of the earliest e ort . All m an d of the , many of the following years as well , exist in one or two impressions only ; they were made for practice , not for sale , and the artist took little interest in any plate when once he had proved it. I n the winter of

1 8 8 - 9 he attended a life class , and his close study of the ﬁgure bore fruit in the following year in several striking and in some ways accomplished dry point portraits and sketches

e 1 8 from life . Lat in 99 he produced a large portrait of m m m hi self, which has only this autu n been rescued fro

ﬁ n e m oblivion ; it is a , i pressive print , but for one who

ﬁ rs t him of - knew at the age twenty six , with a beard

difﬁ cult . already grown , it is to judge of the likeness
