A selection of drawings by old masters in the Museum collections
A 1921 portfolio issued by the Victoria and Albert Museum's Department of Engraving, Illustration, and Design, with text by Henry Reitlinger, reproducing old master drawings from the Museum's collection in halftone for students, collectors, and art schools. The plates range from loose pen sketches of rocks and foliage to wash-heavy landscapes with cliffs and towers and grouped figure studies, offering line textures, brush-and-wash tonal masses, and cropped anatomical and tree forms.
