The advertisement includes the names of the three Honorary Secretaries for Glasgow: “John Baird, Esq., 83 Jamaica Street; John Finlay, Esq., 49 Buchanan Street; and James McClure, 6 Royal Bank Place.”
It also informs readers: “Members for the present year will be entitled, besides their chance of receiving a valuable Work of Art, to copies of a line Engraving now being executed on a large scale, and in the very highest style of art, by the celebrated engraver Mr. Lumb Stocks, after Mr. James Eckford Lauder’s beautiful and expressive Picture of ‘THE TEN VIRGINS.’ This fine painting attracted much attention in a recent Exhibition of the Royal Academy of London, and was purchased for the sum of three hundred guineas. The subject is taken from the Parable of the Ten Virgins, as it is related in the twenty-fifth chapter of St. Matthew, and is treated in a very powerful and elevated manner. The Committee are glad that they have again received the services of Mr. Stocks for an Engraving, more important, both in point of size and cost, than any which the Association has yet distributed among its members.”
