A collection of prints and drawings probably assembled in the late 1830s or early 1840s, although the drawings may have been executed earlier. The wash drawings by Agnes Berry are of mostly Italian sites in Genoa, Florence, Naples, Rome, and Nice with one drawing of Mont Cenis in France. The lithographs are more varied in theme and include: two engravings after paintings by Raphael, possibly removed from an illustrated book; etchings and lithographs of carriages and coaches; lithographs of buildings; a group of four etchings by Henry Monnier and two lithographs by Delpach; and nine etchings and engravings of contemporary actors and actresses in theatrical costumes. All images have been mounted and most have been captioned, probaby by Margret Graves

"A copy of a Rowlandson watercolour, see British Museum Satires No. 11111. A man in hunting-dress stands on the back of his spirited horse to embrace a young woman who leans from a casement window. An elderly gap-toothed man wearing a night-cap peers from the cottage door with an imbecile gape. The hounds are in full cry beside the horse. A fat parson and a huntsman, much amused, turn in their saddles to watch the embrace. They are passing a village church."--British Museum online catalogue
