Excerpt from Report to the Science and Art Department of the Committee of Council on Education on the Action of Light on Water Colours This Committee have held four meetings, and Dr. Russell and Captain Abney have had numerous communications with individual members, from whom they received valuable information on the subject of their inquiry. Their first report, now presented, and dealing with the physical effects of light on water colours - the investigation into the nature of the chemical changes involved being deferred to a second report - was carefully considered by the Committee of Artists, who unanimously adopted a resolution, which was communicated to my Lords, that the Committee accepted the first report, and desired to record their sense of its very great value and of the thoroughness and ability with which so laborious an inquiry had been conducted. And further that they were of opinion that it would be of great advantage if the experimental research, which Dr. Russell and Captain Abney have been conducting into the action of light on water colours, were extended to its action on colours when used with oil and other media.
