- Acquisition notes
- The album R,3 is the first of three albums of prints after Rubens (R,3 to 5) that were assembled by Thomas Philipe between 1808 and 1810. The order is by subject: this 1st album contained subjects from the Old and New Testaments; the 2nd the Virgin, Saints and mythology; the 3rd landscapes. Prints after Rubens' portraits are in R,1b.138 to 154.
R,3 contained 119 prints. About half come from Fawkener, about ten from Sloane, and the remainder from Cracherode.
R,3 and 4 were taken apart in July and August 1875; R,6 (with the landscapes) had evidently been taken apart at an earlier date.
