Mr. Richards, while spending the summer of 1870 at Atlantic City, made several water-color sketches as notes for oil paintings. Some of the sketches being seen by Dr. E. L. Magoon at his first interview with the artist, the present collection was then and there begun. Since that time new pictures have been added as fast as the artist’s time and the purchaser’s resources would permit. The two friends traversed New Hampshire and the New England coast to- gether, choosing favorite subjects and depicting only actual scenes. At the first three exhibitions of the Water-Color Society in New York, the artist reluctantly allowed his friend to exhibit specimens of his work, but he has never pushed his own work into prominence. He did not even know of the present donation until after it was made. 1. Feudal Force. The Castle of Chillon, Lake Geneva. — Dated 1871. 2. Annis Squam Light-house, Cape Ann, Mass. — 1871. 3.
