Excerpt from Catalogue of the Royal Picture Gallery in Dresden: With Notices Concerning the Acquisition and Signatures of the Paintings For the convenience of the constantly increasing number of English and American visitors to the Gallery, it has for some time been obvious that an English cata logue has become a necessity, and therefore the Chief Direction of the Royal Collections has caused the present translation to be made. In the accomplishment of this object, the present edition, consisting of a limited number of copies, does not contain the Historical Introduction; it is, however, reserved for the next edition.
