Book Description

Excerpt from Catalogue of the Pictures in the Gallery of Alleyn's College of God's Gift: At Dulwich With Biographical Notices of the Painters The last edition of this Catalogue having been exhausted it has become necessary to prepare a fresh issue. Very few changes have been made in the arrangement of the pictures. Among them, it may be noted that the following portraits have been removed from the board-room at the College to the walls of the Gallery: - Edward Alleyn (Founder of the College), Joan Alleyn, James Allen, Joseph Allen, John Allen, Thomas Clark, Miss Clark, John Reading, and Mrs. Linley. The following Pictures also have been presented: - 'Abraham, Sarah, and Hagar, ' by Francis Pourbus the younger; 'The Orphans, ' and 'Diana and Endymion, ' by John Wood; Portrait of the late Rev. William Rogers, M.A., by A. S. Cope, A.R.A., and 'The Tribute Money, ' after Rembrandt. The Governors have to record, with regret, the death of Mr. T. F. Hodgkins, the senior custodian of the Gallery, which occurred on January 23, 1903. In Mr. Hodgkins the Governors have lost a venerable and invaluable official, and students and other visitors to the Gallery a wise and courteous adviser.
