The collection effectively began with the gift in 1964, by Arthur Mitchell, of over 3,000 prints, including a large group of wood engravings. During the 1980s and 1990s, it expanded remarkably with acquisitions of large groups of prints, often as gifts from the artists, resulting in a succession of monographic exhibitions on some of the most important wood engravers. They included John Farleigh (1986), John Buckland Wright (1990), Clare Leighton (1992), Monica Poole (1993) and Anne Desmet (1998). A key point in this period of expansion was the acquisition of a comprehensive body of work by Gertrude Hermes and Blair Hughes-Stanton in 1995 from the artists' family, which resulted in a memorable exhibition organised by Katharine Eustace. More recently, the Ashmolean has formed a close partnership with the Society of Wood Engravers (SWE) and has been keeping the collection up to date by acquiring work by members, both at the Society's annual exhibition and privately.0This exhibition catalogue covers the entire history of wood engraving, including every major artist of the genre.00Exhibition: Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, UK (28.03.-12.07.2020). 610 20 $a Society of Wood Engravers $v Exhibitions. 610 27 $a Society of Wood Engravers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00670051 650 0 $a Wood-engraving, British $y 20th century $v Exhibitions. 650 0 $a Wood-engraving $y 20th century $v Exhibitions. 650 7 $a Wood-engraving. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01179542 650 7 $a Wood-engraving, British. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01179555 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a Exhibition catalogs. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01424028 710 2 $a Ashmolean Museum, $e host institution. 710 2 $a Society of Wood Engravers. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317020427.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A5744846129911EBB48536AA50ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
