The Director informed the board that the late Mr William Arnold Sandby had bequeathed three watercolour paintings by Paul Sandby to The National Gallery, which the board unanimously accepted. The paintings were "Travellers Crossing a River," "Beech Trees by a Country Road," and "The Hundred Steps and Winchester Tower, Windsor Castle, Berkshire." (NGI 2577-2579). The Gallery also received a gift of an etching by Mr Alphonsus Legros which they gratefully accepted. The Director then read his annual report for the year 1904, which was adopted by the board. The Director was appointed one of the three Judges in the annual Taylor Art Competition for 1905-6.
