Notes:
1. 2 December 1877
The transaction recorded at the top of this page of a ledger dates from 9 November 1877, but subsequent records were not made in date order. The earliest dates from 3 August 1876 and the last from 2 December 1877. It is presumed that the list was compiled at or shortly after the latter date.
2. AD
These entries were made in a ledger or account book (see #12987).
3. Venice
This is a record of subscriptions to a planned set of etchings of Venice. A subscription list was published by C. A. Howell in October 1877 (#02857), and this may have been the occasion for drawing up a list of earlier commitments to the project. JW finally left for Venice in September 1879, and after his return his etchings (K.183-232, 240) were published in two sets.

12. Bright E. B.

13. Knoedler & Co (Goupil & Co
Knoedler and Company were art and print dealers. The entry suggests that the subscription was obtained through Goupil and Co., who had a London office.
14. Fine Art Society. (Huish)
Marcus Bourne Huish (1843 - d.1921), barrister, writer and art dealer, Director of the Fine Art Society [more].

(excat 5), was commissioned by the Fine Art Society in 1879 and published by them in 1880.
