About the book >.>.> Is publishing a book on Welsh Furniture the authors are con-scious that a good deal has been left undone: lack of petrol and difficulties in procuring photographs have both contributed to the gaps to which the critical reader will call attention. We realize that each brief sketch could easily have been greatly expanded but in these days of paper shortage we have felt it better to cut our descriptions short. Our grateful thanks are due to Mr. Ralph Edwards of the Victoria and Albert Museum and to Dr. Jorwerth Peate and Mr. Ffransis Payne of the National Museum of Wales for their unfailing help and criticism. To the University of Wales for its permission to make use of the late Dan R. Jones’s unpublished thesis on Welsh Furniture and to Sir William Llewelyn Davies of the National Library of Wales for much valuable help and advice. To all those who most generously lent photographs to the photographers and to the National Museum and National Library of Wales the Museum of Welsh Antiquities Bangor and the County Museum Carmarthen in particular for permission to illustrate the furniture in their possession; to Mr. R. G. Bruten of Gloucester for some excellent photographs to Mr. Hugh J. Owen the late Mr. Herbert Vaughan Miss Nest Lloyd Mr. Bradford Kyrle Fletcher Mr. John Craggs M. Cefin Barnett and to many others who have helped with advice and information. To Dr. Elwyn Davies of the University of Wales Press Board for his help and advice while this book was going through the Press and finally Margaret Lloyd-Johnes Anthony Twiston-Davies and Kathleen Docker for their helpful suggestions and corrections.
