Join BADA picture dealer and Council member Tom Edwards of Abbott and Holder along with Dr Chiara Betti at a rare evening viewing highlights from one of the most significant yet little-known collections of historic British works on paper.

The Society holds over 45,000 prints and drawings from 16th to 20th centuries which include works by William Blake, Thomas Girtin and the Smirke brothers. Also on show will be recently attributed works by women artists.

Tom will be speaking with Chiara about the prints and drawings in a ‘show and tell’ format in the main library. The proceeds from ticket sales will go to support the development of architectural plans to help secure the Society’s long-term future at Burlington House www.sal.org.uk/support-us.
