N little more than six weeks after Walker’s death, his remaining works, his easels, cabinets, and studio properties, were sold by Messrs. Christie, Manson, & Wood on July 17, 1875. There were 142 lots in all, consisting chiefly of pencil and sepia drawings, water-colour sketches, with studies and a few unfinished pictures in oil and water. The sale realised the satisfactory sum (considering the small number of items) of over £3000. Before the sale a meeting was held at the Arts Club, at which it was resolved that all who felt affection for the man or sympathy with his work should be invited to con- tribute to a Walker memorial fund. A large and in- fluential committee, including some of the brightest names in British art, was at once formed, which decided to hold an exhibition of Walker’s work. From these an executive committee was chosen, who at once went energetically to work. Owners of pictures or drawings were at once communicated with, and all without exception responded gener- ously to the appeals for loans. Mr. Deschamps
