Excerpt from The Year's Art, 1898: A Concise Epitome of All Matters Relating to the Arts of Painting, Sculpture, and Architecture and to Schools of Design, Which Have Occurred During the Year 1897, Together With Information Respecting the Events of the Year 1898 N the present Volume of the year's art (the Nineteenth Annual Issue) an endeavour has been made further to increase its practical usefulness. The Artist's Calendar, one of the features of former editions, has been grafted on to an Artist's Diary, and it will readily occur to the orderly reader that this Diary should be a handy and appropriate place for an artist's working records, the mere noting of which may afterwards prove to be most valuable. Romney, perforce, used an ordinary farmer's almanac for his studio notes. What more fitting, then, for a con temporary artist than the Diary in the year's art, especially if that artist has had no small share in the making of the art of the year? Since 1888 upwards of four hundred portraits of artists and others connected with the art world have been given in the year's art, and, in continuation, the series in the present volume will be found to be a representative collection. The opening of the National Gallery of British Art in 1897, is a quite sufficient reason for choosing, as frontispiece to this volume, the portrait of Mr. Henry Tate.
