Miscellaneous woodcuts, etc. Anonymous, Continental

  • Curator’s description:

    Description

    Listed by Cook and Wedderburn (XXI.308) simply as 'Various miscellaneous woodcuts, etc.', these items cannot be identified with any certainty with any object now in the Teaching Collection.

    As the unframed examples had not been given an order by Ruskin, they have been given arbitrary accession numbers based upon their position in Cook and Wedderburn's list of the unframed objects (XXI.308) for the purposes of the current catalogue.
