Summary
[Bibliographical Note.—Of this catalogue there were several editions.
First Edition (1857).—The title-page of the first (issued on January 12, 1857) is as on the preceding page. Octavo, pp. iv. +88. The “Notes on the Turner Collection” (here pp. 99–172) occupy pp. 1–80, the “Appendix” (here pp. 173–181), pp. 81–88. The imprint (at the foot of the last page) is “London: printed by Smith, Elder and Co., Little Green Arbour Court, E.C.” There are no headlines, the pages containing the Notes being headed with the numbers of the pictures described, whilst those of the Appendix are numbered centrally. A Catalogue of Smith, Elder & Co.'s publications occupies four numbered pages at the end. Issued in green paper wrappers, with the title-page (enclosed in an ornamental ruled frame) reproduced upon the front cover; “Price One Shilling” being added at the foot. Page 4 of the wrapper is filled with an advertisement of “Mr. Ruskin's Works on Art.”
Second and Third Editions (1857).—These editions (issued in February 1857) are exact reprints of the First—with two exceptions: (1) the date of the Exhibition was altered from “1856” to “1856–1857,” and remained so in subsequent issues; (2) the number of the edition was added to the title-page and to the front cover of the wrapper.
