The V & A Museum - Plate (17)c Vol.1
The Victoria and Albert Museum: Examples of the works of Art in the Museum – South Kensington Museum – Volumes 1 & 2
Sometime ago I posted some illustrations from Volume 1 of the above book and hoped I that would be able to find those items in the museum itself and then photograph them. This will be the second set of postings. This time they are of illustrations 16 – 30 from the book. As usual I investigated the V & A Search the Collections site for any further information. This is what I found (photographed) or in the case of those items in storage or drawings, didn’t find.
I have used 1881 throughout as the purchase date, as that was the date of publishing of the book. I fully expect the clue to be in the museum ref, however I don’t suppose it makes a fantastic amount of difference to my posting. This is the first half 16 – 23.
