Catalogue to accompany art exhibition on the subject of EARTH

An exhibition catalogue focusing on the Ashmolean's rarely seen reserve collection of Pre-Raphaelite drawings and watercolours.

This book aims to indicate the changes that took place between the late eighteenth century, when British art was openly admired as the product of a modern society, and the mid nineteenth century, when there is more evidence of resistance and even of covert uses of British precedents.

This collection of essays looks at the uses made of the paintings of Reynolds, Hogarth, Lawrence and their contemporaries on the continent of Europe, and in the colonies and ex-colonies of Australia and America
