A catalogue of sculpture at Woburn Abbey, in the collection of His Grace the Duke of Bedford / by A.H. Smith

Smith, A. H. (Arthur Hamilton), 1860-1941 · 1900 · Printed for private circulation, · 10 pictures

A private-circulation catalogue of sculpture held at Woburn Abbey, compiled by the classical scholar A. H. Smith and printed in 1900 for the Duke of Bedford's collection in Bedfordshire, England. The four pictures are plain line drawings of carved relief friezes showing rows of draped figures, horsemen and dense battle scenes, with the frieze outlines and figure contours rendered in fine hatched strokes that a designer could use as a source for decorative borders or classical motifs.
