An appeal on behalf of THE ARTISTS' GENERAL BENEVOLENT
INSTITUTION by Dame LAURA KNIGHT , D.B.E.,
R.A., LL.D.
The Artists' General Benevolent Institution was established in 1814 and incorporated by Royal Charter in 1842. Formed for the purpose of helping professional artists (painters, sculptors, engravers, architects, and so on), it has done much to smooth over the difficulties caused by temporary distress or unmerited neglect, as well as those due to illness, blindness, and old age. Relief is also given to the widows and orphans of artists. The Institution is mainly dependent on voluntary subscriptions to meet its expenditure, and each year adds to the number of those in need.
