End of the Museum Path

This was the last visit I made in London but what a visit; it resulted in this:

 

.... a three year readers ticket for the National Art Library in the Victoria & Albert Museum - I am now order books three days in advance and they will be waiting for me when I arrive.

 

Let me show you some of the things I managed to see in a very limited time...

 

 

 

...a wonderful book of Daumier's Lithographs

 

 

In these two books were photgraphs and descriptions of all the artists books held by the V & A, and here are some of them:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

...and the pièce - de - resistance...

 

 

 

Really, I was astounded to see this here having used photos of it in my contextual studies before Christmas - unbelievable!!!

 

I plan to return to London where I have "lodgings" and stay a couple of days spending much more planned visits in the V & A and the British Museum, looking at things I have selected before going.

 

 

Back to school.......
