The Ashmolean Museum houses one of the most extensive collections
of wood engravings in the world. The collection effectively began
with the gift in 1964, by Arthur Mitchell, of over 3,000 prints,
including a large group of wood engravings. During the 1980s and
1990s, it expanded remarkably with acquisitions of large groups of
prints, often as gifts from the artists, resulted in a succession
of monographic exhibitions on some of the most important wood
engravers. They included John Farleigh (1986), John Buckland Wright
(1990), Clare Leighton (1992), Monica Poole (1993) and Anne Desmet
(1998). A key point in this period of expansion was the acquisition
of a comprehensive body of work by Gertrude Hermes and Blair
Hughes-Stanton in 1995 from the artists' family, which resulted in
a memorable exhibition organised by Katharine Eustace. More
recently, the Ashmolean has formed a close partnership with the
SWE, and has been keeping the collection up to date by acquiring
work by members, both at the Society's annual exhibition and
privately.
