MAY IT PLEASE YOUR MAJESTY, As a British Artist, fully sensible of the tendency of a judicious cultivation of the Fine Arts to refine the taste of individuals, and to civilize mankind; gratified, therefore, on all occasions, when the patronage of the noble and exalted in station is bestowed on those Arts and their professors; and now especially proud that such patronage should be extended to so humble an individual as myself; I venture, with Your Majesty's gracious Permission, to dedicate to Your Majesty this Volume of the LANDSCAPE ANNUAL, comprising Architectural and other Illustrations of a romantic and chivalrous portion of Spain. With profound respect and gratitude I have the honour to be YOUR MAJESTY'S Obedient and devoted servant, DAVID ROBERTS. |
