The opening portion of the handbook establishes the operational details of the National Gallery, including visitor access and admission fees. It emphasizes the importance of the gallery, as recognized by art critic John Ruskin, and details the arrangement of artworks therein. The introductory sections describe the general approach the handbook takes to educate the public about the various foreign schools of painting on display, positioning itself as an essential companion for navigating the art and history encapsulated within the gallery's walls.
