Description
Minutes of a board meeting held on 3rd February 1898 in which the following was discussed: a portrait of Thomas, 1st Marquess of Wharton was approved for purchase [NGI 474], along with a portrait of Baron MacSwiney [NGI 10112]. The Director read a letter in regards to opening the Gallery in the evenings during the week, however the board agreed that this was most undesirable. They also received a letter from the Board of Works relating to a possible statue of Sir Robert Stewart. There is correspondence between the Director and Lady Milltown discussing her generous gift to the Gallery, and correspondence with the Treasury discussing additional funding to support the housing of this £40,000 gift.
