Title page Google Books The introductory pages of this work contain the texts of international agreements for the reproduction of works of art…
During the Paris Exhibition a Convention was entered into by several Princes of the reigning families of Europe, whereby they agreed mutually to assist the museums of Europe in procuring casts and copies of national objects for the promotion of art. I cannot doubt that the museums in this country will derive benefit from this Convention, and will be able to make a return to foreign countries for the advantages which they may afford.
