Notes:
1. Horace Henry Cauty
Horace Henry Cauty (1846-1909), historical and genre painter [more]. JW was elected President of the Society of British Artists on 1 June 1886 and took office in December. It became the Royal Society of British Artists in 1887. The size of JW's guest list was one of many causes of conflict between him and the RBA Council. At the Monthly meeting on 5 December 1887, 'The resolution was put to the meeting and carried therefore in the following form 'that no invitation shall be issued for the private view except through the Secretary of the Society' be added to law 43. That the following be added to law 81 'that the servants of the Society shall receive instruction as to their duties through him (the Secretary) only and he shall be responsible that the servants of the Society do their duty.' JW's enormous guest list is dated 10 days after this meeting and was probably intended to give the recipient a lot of work.
