Books in the Fitzwilliam Museum Publications series

This is the fully-illustrated catalogue of the exhibition of the work of Samuel Palmer's circle - 'The Ancients' - a group of men which included, amongst others, the painters George and Welby Sherman, all of whom were much influenced by William Blake. The exhibition included work spanning Samuel Palmer's life.

This catalogue provides details of 127 stelae with material in Egyptian hieroglyphic, hieratic and demotic, Greek, Coptic, Carian and early Arabic. New evidence is provided on aspects of Egyptian culture such as burial customs, religion, art and iconography, daily life and the administrative systems over a period of 4000 years.

The collection of pre-1825 printed music in the Fitzwilliam Museum is one of the most important in the British Isles after the British Library and the Bodleian Library, particularly for its holdings of late seventeenth- and eighteenth-century music. The collection is here fully catalogued for the first time.

Containing over 800 entries and almost 1400 colour illustrations, this catalogue details the extensive collection of Italian drawings at the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge. Ranging from Pisanello in the early fifteenth century to Sandro Chia in the twentieth, special strengths of the collection include masterpieces by da Vinci, Raphael and Goya.
