Find out more about Prints

Hope you have had a look in the galleries I have mentioned in Bath.  If you are planning a trip to London, and would like to see particular prints, the Department of Prints and Drawings at the British Museum has a huge collection.  The study centre is open to the public, though they do ask for ID, so make sure you take your student card. It's worth doing some research on their online catalogue before you go to pinpoint what you want to look at, then request it when you arrive:
