3: I am deeply indebted to the personal kindness and trouble of Sir
Martin Gosselin, K.C.M.G., British Minister at the Court of Portugal,
for greatly facilitating my own study of this interesting picture.
4: I am indebted to the personal kindness of the discoverer's son, Herr
Direktor Zetter-Collin of the Solothurn Museum, for these details. But
the whole story, as well as Herr Zetter-Collin's contributions to the
history of the work, should be read in his own absorbingly interesting
monograph:--"_Die Zetter'sche Madonna von Solothurn. (...) Ihre
Geschichte, etc._" 1902.
