HARRY FURNISS's ROYAL ACADEMY.

An Artistic Joke.

The Exhibition consisted of eighty-seven pictures, in black and white
of course, but otherwise similar in size and general appearance to
those annually seen on the walls of Burlington House. Anyone who
visited it must have seen that it was the result of many years of
labour, and not a few of the pictures possessed an artistic value
quite apart from their interest as pictorial travesties. A wish
has been very generally expressed that some permanent record, in a
portable shape, but in character consonant with the artistic purpose
of the Exhibition, should be procurable by the public at large, both
those who saw and those who did not see the originals at the
Gainsborough Gallery and elsewhere.

To meet this wish an #ALBUM#, containing Reproductions of these
#EIGHTY-SEVEN PICTURES#, with which will be included the contents of
#THE ILLUSTRATED CATALOGUE#, has been prepared and largely subscribed
for. The issue of these Albums, however, which will be the only
reproductions of the Exhibition, is strictly limited to #ONE THOUSAND
COPIES#, each of which will be signed by the Artist.

It may be mentioned that the whole of this undertaking, from its
conception to the present time, has been in Mr. Furniss's own hands.
This has enabled Mr. Furniss scrupulously to maintain the artistic
character of the whole enterprise. In the preparation of this Album he
has spared no time or expense in trying reproductions by the different
processes at home and abroad, similar to those used in the Album of
the Royal Academy Pictures of 1886, and the annual reproductions of
the French Salon. Not, however, being satisfied with any of these
cheaper methods, he has, regardless of the great cost, adopted the
finest method of photogravure--viz., the Photo Intaglio process of A.
and C. Dawson, No. 3, Farringdon Street, and Hogarth
