There's a headnote saying that it is "Not to be confused with Surveyor of the Queen's Works of Art.", where "Surveyor of the Queen's Works of Art" currently has the identical job description, but with "royal collection of pictures" substituted with "royal collection of works of art". There's no description as to what's the difference between a "picture" and a "work of art". The obvious interpretation ("picture" = "photograph") appears to be ruled out by the history extending to 1625. More clarification of the remit of each position (and the history of the two) woudl be warranted. -- 71.35.127.252 (talk) 16:44, 20 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
