The present catalogue obviously draws on a wide range of primary and secondary references (for the most commonly cited material, see Bibliography)
Here, links to other entries on the pre-Felton collection are assembled, under two main headings:
Informative and explanatory texts
The extended entries listed below provide additional information and discussion of particular aspects of the pre-Felton collection, either
- commenting in more detail on catalogued material, for instance a complete annotated list of the remarkable group of engravings donated by George Collins Levey in 1879: see Levey Gift (1879); or
- elaborating on material not catalogued in full here: see e.g. Plaster Casts.
Appendix: Other significant books acquired for the MPL to 1861
Visual documentation
The following linked entries provide reproductions of some of the more informative early photographs and prints documenting the exhibition spaces of the pre-Felton collection, including views reproduced in the 1905 NGV catalogue. Of course there is a wealth of other material of this kind, much of it accessible via the SLV catalogue, and other examples are reproduced in individual entries elsewhere in the present catalogue
