Over 140 years after his death, Turner’s reputation as perhaps the greatest of all British painters remains as strong as ever. The popularity of the Turner watercolour exhibition shown at the Natuional gallery of Scotland every January remains equally undiminsihed over 90 years after Henry Vaughan bequethed 38 o the artist’s watercolours to Edinburgh. This new publication offers, for the first time, a catalogue of the whole of the permanent collection of Turner’s works. Several drawings, which have not appeared in the recent literature on Turner, are included, in addition to the well known watercolours of the VBaughan Bequest and the vignette ‘Illustrations to the Poetical Works of Thomas Campbell’.
