Excerpt from George Frederic Watts, Vol. 3: His Writings

To these few forewords may be added a few afterwords which seemed to be out of place at the conclusion of the second volume.

More than eight years have now passed since my husband's death, and during that time I have been sent occasional comments, generally made by foreigners and in their own newspapers, which have expressed surprise that he had not been honoured by a public memorial. I would therefore like to explain that not long after his death the President of the Royal Academy, Sir Edward Poynter, took the initial steps to form a committee to consider this matter, h.r.h. The Prince of Wales, our present King, having signified his willingness that his name should be connected with the scheme.
