List of Works

I possess various lists of Buss's work which I will endeavor to publish here. The following are all OILS. It is also becoming apparent that the list here is very incomplete. It would seem that Buss painted many pictures of which his family, in trying to reconstruct his work, were quite ignorant. At some stage I will try to update this list.

Pictures exhibited by R. W. Buss

Chronological list.
Legend: A=Royal Academy; S=Suffolk Street, I=British Institution, U=Unknown.
An E in column four indicates the work was also engraved, to our knowledge.
The last column contains the catalogue number followed by notes as printed in The St. Pancras and Holborn Guardian after Buss� death in 1875.

The addresses give an indication of the family�s ever changing situation.
