Portrait of the month
In the summer of 2006 work began to give greater access to the Fitzwilliam Museum's large collection of portrait prints, the majority of which came in 1933 in a generous gift from John Charrington, Honorary Keeper of Prints. The records of all of these prints are available on the Museum's online catalogue, but every month we will highlight one of the particularly interesting or exceptional examples here on the department's webpage.
