Turner's Water-Colours at Farnley Hall
Finberg, A. J. (Alexander Joseph)
Fawkes, Walter Ramsden Hawksworth, 1769-1825 -- Art collections; Turner, J. M. W. (Joseph Mallord William), 1775-1851
No complete list of the original collection has yet been published. The
following list is as nearly exhaustive as I have been able to make it. I
have broken this list up into eight groups for convenience of reference,
viz., (1) The oil paintings, (2) The early Swiss drawings, (3) The Rhine
drawings, (4) Yorkshire, marine and other subjects,(5) The Wharfedale
Series, (6) Birds, (7) Vignettes, (8) Italian and later Swiss drawings.
Where the works have passed from the possession of Mr. F. H. Fawkes, the
present owner of the collection, I have indicated in brackets the
collection into which they have passed, or the latest appearance in the
sale-room or exhibition of which I have a record. Where there is no
entry in brackets after the title the work is still at Farnley Hall.
