The works of the Pre-Raphaelites, as far as the subjects and sizes of the canvas were concerned, belonged to the same category, their style and technique being the chief difference between them and those of the figure painters of the School just mentioned. During the early years of the nineteenth century these pictures received but scanty patron- age ; their prices were low, and the artists had to supplement their earnings either by painting small portraits or by devoting their talents to book ...illustration. Even with such supplementary aids my father had a hard struggle in the early part of his career to support his wife and family ; later in life he was more successful in selling his works, and the prices he got for his pictures were much higher. Towards the end of Sir Martin Shee's Presidency several patrons distinguished themselves by forming large collections of land- scapes and subject pictures by living British artists ; among these collectors the names of Mr Vernon and Mr Sheepshanks are the best known.
