Frank McClean (1837-1904) was not only a civil engineer, astronomer
and pioneer of objective prism spectrography, but also an
accomplished and systematic collector of ancient and medieval art.
McClean's collections, which were left to the Fitzwilliam Museum,
Cambridge, on his death, were at that time the most notable bequest
since the Museum's foundation. They included illuminated
manuscripts, early printed books, and the ancient and medieval
decorative objects described in this catalogue. The medieval
applied arts in particular were of immense value to the Museum's
holdings, including extremely rare items not hitherto represented
there. This catalogue, prepared in 1911-12 by O. M. Dalton,
assistant keeper of British and medieval antiquities at the British
Museum, lists over 140 items: ivory carvings, enamels, jewellery,
gems and a smaller number of Chinese, Japanese and Egyptian
objects.
