✨ Exhibition Rules and Maritime Notice

The space at the disposal of Her Majesty’s Commissioners for the display of British Art being limited, and it being at the same time desirable to bring together as careful and perfect an illustration as possible, a selection of the works to be exhibited will be indispensable.
The selection of Exhibitors, the space and number of works to be allowed to each, and the arrangement of them, will be entrusted to Committees to be nominated by Her Majesty’s Commissioners.
In the case of living artists, her Majesty’s Commissioners would desire to consult the wishes of the artists themselves as to the particular works by which they would prefer to be represented. The selection of works so made by the artists will not necessarily be binding upon Her Majesty’s Commissioners, but in no case will any work by a living artist be exhibited against his wish, if expressed in writing, and delivered to the Commissioners on or before the 31st of March, 1862.
Her Majesty’s Commissioners will avail themselves of the following eight Art Institutions of this country in communicating with Artists who are members of those Institutions, viz.:—

The Royal Academy,
The Royal Scottish Academy,
The Royal Hibernian Academy,
The Society of Painters in Water Colours,
The Society of British Artists,
The New Society of Painters in Water Colours,
The Institute of British Artists,
The Institute of British Architects.

Intending Exhibitors in the British Division of Section IV., who are not members of any of the preceding institutions, may at once receive Forms of Demand for Space, by applying to the Secretary to Her Majesty’s Commissioners. These Forms must be filled up and returned before the 1st of June, 1861.

By order,
F. R. SANDFORD,
Secretary.

Offices of Her Majesty’s Commissioners,

Several numbers are left blank, with the view of incorporating future decisions.
