Dear List Members,

Something that might interest you.  Quite by chance, I recently stumbled 
upon Chris Beetles' Summer Show 2001 Catalogue.  Chris Beetles is a London 
art gallery (www.chrisbeetles.com), and the theme of the 2001 Summer Show 
is, principally, English watercolour paintings.  One of the paintings 
exhibited (and for sale at 3,750 GBP) is Walter Tyndale's "Fordington, 
Dorchester, Back of Mixen Lane in The Mayor of Casterbridge", which, I 
believe was one of the illustrations within Clive Holland's "Wessex", 
published by A & C Black in 1906.

With best wishes,
Robert (Goddard)

GREETINGS ALL:

THis is a message I received today-- for your interest:

>I am writing to tell you of a new exhibition that runs throughout this
summer at the Salisbury and South Wiltshire Museum in England. The
exhibition is of paintings by renowned artist Gerald Rickards of buildings
and locations associated with Thomas Hardy and his writings. The exhibition
runs from 9 June to 8 September 2001. Details of the exhibition can also be
found on our website at http://www.salisburymuseum.freeserve.co.uk/page7.html . 
>
>The Museum is based in Salisbury Cathedral Close, in The King's House. For
many years the building was a teaching college, attended by Hardy's two
sisters. The writer visited them here and used the building as a model for
the college from which Sue Bridehead runs away in 'Jude the Obscure'.
Visitors to the Museum can even sit in the window through which she escaped
and look across to the river which she waded through!
>
>Salisbury Museum is a registered charity, not a government-owned museum. We
fund our activities mainly through our ticket sales and therefore any
publicity that you can give this exhibition would be most helpful to us.
Even if you are not based in Britain, please promote us if you can.
Salisbury (known by Thomas Hardy as 'Melchester') is a beautiful medieval
city, with Britain's tallest cathedral and the world famous monument of
Stonehenge nearby. Many tourists visit us each year and perhaps they come
from your area.

>Thank you in advance for any help that you can give us in promoting this
beautiful and fascinating exhibition. Perhaps you could include a 'news
flash' on your homepage or perhaps a link. You may even like to forward this
email to all of your subscribers. If you or your web-visitors would like any
further information about this show, or any other aspect of the Museum,
please do not hesitate to contact us. We can supply you with a copy of the
press release for this exhibition and other information. Details of how to
contact us can be found on our homepage,  www.salisburymuseum.org.uk .
