There is now on exhibition in the print room of the Fogg Art Museum a collection of prints loaned to the Museum by Mr. Francis Bullard '86. In this collection are some very rare impressions from the plates of Turner's "Liber Studiorum," including a number of trial proofs illustrating the development of the plates. The exhibition includes some of the finest etchings of Whistler, and others whose works are represented in the collection are J. F. Lewis, Ferdinand Gaillard, Jasinski, Paul Rajou, John Ruskin, Lucas Vorsterman the elder, and J. M. W. Turner.
The mezzotints in the collection, after the drawings by Turner, are by Thomas Lupton, Frank Short, and Charles Turner.
The line-engravings, after the drawings of Turner, are by William Miller, George Cooke, E. Goodall, J. Walker, W. J. Cooke, T. Higham, and J. C. Bentley.
