Notes:
1. [10/12 August 1887?]
This page is referred to in a letter of about this date from JW to G. Lushington (#01845, #01846).
2. MsDdS
This is probably the final draft of the crucial page in the manuscript, when the title originally proposed, of Imperial Society of British Artists, was dropped, in favour of 'Royal' (see #05974). The document was probably written by a professional, possibly Edward D. Mitchell, heraldry expert [more].
3. Queen Victoria
Victoria (1819-1901), Queen of Great Britain [more].
