CARL RULAND (1834-1907)

Raphael Collection Desiderata': list of works by Raphael of which photographs or engravings were wanted for the Prince Consort's collection.

6 Feb 1905

Bound volume in green cloth binding with gilt title | 1 volume (32 pages) (whole object) | RA VIC/ADDA10/85/562

The works are numbered from 1 to 324, consecutively but with many gaps, for paintings, drawings and cartoons; sculptural and architectural works, old prints, engravings after drawings and portraits of Raphael are numbered separately. The gaps suggest that the numeration comes from another source, perhaps a work in French on Raphael.
