V & A Museum Plate (01)z Vol. 1
Victoria and Albert Museum:
Examples of the works of Art in the Museum – South Kensington Museum – Published in 2 Volumes in 1881 – Book 1
Sometime ago I posted some of the illustrations from the above book and I hoped that would be able to find them physically in the museum and photograph them. I took the second set of 15 illustrations from this book and went on the V & A website; Search the Collections. My results were based upon the following criteria:
(1) Items I couldn’t find anywhere
(2) Items that were in storage
(3) Items I did locate and photograph.
So I will be posting them, along with their locations in the museum, against the original plate and photograph from storage (where possible). The original price and any further information I might find.
One thing I didn’t count on, was that internal renovations would alter the interior of the building so drastically. I have found it very difficult to pin some of these locations down but in the main they have been found which now completes Volume 1.
