An den Maler, Kunstautor und späteren Sekretär der Society of Graphic Arts Frank L. Emmanuel (1865–1948): „I have been looking at the Beverly drawings which I have agreed to take, and find there are three, one in colour, one in monochrome wash, and the third in pencil; all drawings of boats. As the price agreed was unfortunately not noted at the time and has slipped both our memories we must settle it again. My idea would be something like 30s. for the colour-sketch, 25s. for the sepia wash, and 20s.
for the pencil drawing, making £ 3. 15s. for the lot. Would that meet your views? […]”. – Colvin wurde 1873 Slade Professor of Fine Art und im Jahr darauf Direktor des Fitzwilliam Museums; 1884 übernahm er die Abteilung für Drucke und Zeichnungen des British Museum. Zu seinen bekanntesten Arbeiten zählen Studien über Walter Savage Landor und John Keats..
