¹ [It may be noticed that in the following pages the titles of a few of the subjects are slightly varied from this list (which is here printed from the original edition, with 22A added, and also with references to pages supplied). Thus No. 5 is headed, “The Angel (Raphael) appears to Joachim”; Nos. 13 and 14 (which are in reality one picture) are given as “The Annunciation (a) The Angel Gabriel, (b) The Virgin Mary”; and No. 16 is called “The Nativity.” See also Nos. 10 and 12. So again in the lettering under the Arundel Society’s illustration, No. 11 was entitled “The Espousal of the Virgin.”-ED. 1899.]
