I'm sorry for being obscure. Eric had said "comparing all three sets of illustrations, the ones Mr. Ransome rejected, the ones he did not like and his own" and I was imagining the possibility of viewing (sometimes) three versions of the same scene: (a) the illustration Ransome rejected, (b) the illustration Ransome allowed but didn't like, and (c) the one he did himself. Of course having all three for the same scene wouldn't happen often I suppose, but two of the three seem to have been fairly common, and with enough examples it would be really remarkable to see enough examples to understand the common themes that caused him to reject, dislike, or or emphasize himself. More than we already understand, that is.

I have the impression that this might have been one of the things that the Brantwood exhibition achieved, and I am disappointed I missed it. Especially as, if it had lasted until 3 October, I would have had a chance.
