British Prints from the Bristow Collection

About the exhibition

Corcoran Gallery of Art presented British Prints from the Bristow Collection in 1979. The documented prints include rural work and landscape subjects by British printmakers, retaining the particular surviving impressions. Exact surviving examples are Clare Leighton’s Sowing (1932; wood engraving in black on laid paper) and Orovida Camille Pissarro’s Curves (1919; etching and drypoint in black on laid paper). The surviving museum histories establish only part of the checklist; exact opening and closing days remain unverified.
