ended March 31st, 1929, commenced on June 3rd, 1929.
The Auditor in his Report stated that other than certain
points in connection with the Camberwell and other Metropolitan
Borough Councils' (Superannuation) Act, 1908,

Hogarth Picture. Loan Of.
During the period under report the Council received two
requests for the loan of one of the pictures in the Art Gallery,
namely that entitled "Study for the Masked Ball at the
Wanstead Assembly," by William Hogarth. The request
was granted in each case.
The first application was from the Anglo-Belgian Union
which desired to exhibit the picture at the Exhibition of
Retrospective British Art organised by that Union and the
Belgian Government, and which was held in Brussels.
As a result of this exhibition, the picture received widespread
notice on the Continent, and the further request for
the loan of the painting came from Sir Philip Sassoon, who
was holding an Exhibition of Eighteenth-century art in aid
of London Hospitals.
