A Complete Inventory Of The Drawings Of The Turner Bequest Vol 1 PDF Download

Excerpt from A Complete Inventory of the Drawings of the Turner Bequest, Vol. 1: With Which Are Included the Twenty-Three Drawings Bequeathed The drawings and water-colours of the Turner Bequest have been deposited on indefinite loan in the Prints and Drawings Department of the British Museum since October, 1931. The transfer was made largely on account of the lack of students' rooms at the National Gallery and Tate Gallery. In the British Museum any of the drawings and sketchbooks may be seen on application in the Print Room. A large number of separate drawings and water-colours are mounted, and a small selection will always be on exhibition in the Prints and Drawings Gallery. The mounted drawings will also form a basis for exhibits as required by the National Gallery, the Tate Gallery and the Victoria and Albert Museum. In addition, several series of drawings are available, on application to the Director, for short loans to provincial museums. The drawings in the Print Room are arranged chronologically according to the present inventory by Mr. A. J. Finberg, which is now on sale at the British Museum.
