Policy: Catalogue Foreword:
'The exhibits set up at a National Eisteddfod, usually confined to the 'Arts and Crafts', have this year...been planned on broader lines. That this was possible is primarily due to the kindly and generous action of Lord Londonderry, who...has provided us with an ideal setting for loan collections of high importance.'
