Series VII.B.3. Prints, drawings and paintings, 1767-1882, undated
Physical Description: 18.7 linear feet, 18 flat file folders, 1 roll
Scope and Content Note
Vander Poel also collected prints, drawings and paintings as part of the visual
documentation of Pompeii. Although they provide less reliable documentation than
photographs, these formats often have the advantage of documenting earlier stages
in the excavations. Prints form the majority of the material in this subseries. They
include a combination of original prints and photographic reproductions. The original
prints are primarily isolated images removed from larger suites or publications or they
are recent restrikes.
Arrangement
The material is presented roughly chronologically.
