The Department of History of Art at Bristol has a substantial collection of prints, ranging from the Renaissance to the present day, and in medium from engravings to etchings and lithographs. The collection is a valuable aid to teaching and research, but is currently in storage and has not been used or displayed for some years. However, thanks to a generous donation, we are now in a position to commission a display cabinet and to mount a permanent, rotating exhibition of prints drawing on the collection. In the first instance, one MA student will be appointed to research and catalogue the collection, and to mount a scholarly exhibition of selected works. Their work will lay the foundations for future courses, research projects and exhibitions. It will also give them valuable experience in independent research, cataloguing and curating.
