- Acquisition notes
- The run of prints from 1918,0713.9 through to 73 all come from two albums of colour woodcuts formed by Consul Smith in Venice in the second quarter of the XVIIIc. They were broken up at the sale at Sotheby's 26-28 June 1918 of the collection of the Rev. James Franck Bright, DD, late Master of University College Oxford, and formerly collected by Dr Richard Bright, MD. Colnaghi acted as the BM's agent, and Dodgson put together a group of donors who presented individual prints; these were purchased outright, while the rest were exchanged for duplicates.
