Prints.
This section includes some 17th and 18th century Italian, Dutch and Flemish etchings and engravings, in particular a fine set of Piranesi views of Rome. The great strength, however, lies in the 20th century holdings. In the 1930s the Lady Mabel Annesley donated her important collection of contemporary woodcuts and wood-engravings. There is also a distinguished collection of British etchings of the first half of the 20th century. A collection of contemporary prints, mainly Irish, British, Continental and American, was built up during the 1970 and 80s. There are collections of 20th century posters and contemporary high-quality photographic prints.
