The Clough Collection of Prints at the Whitworth Institute
View through CrossRef
George Clough‘s donation of old master prints raised the Whitworth Institute‘s
collection to international standing. Simultaneously, it presented Manchester
with a viewing experience that was possibly unique in Britain, and placed on
permanent display one of the nations finest collections of engravings, etchings
and woodcuts so as to offer a visual history of the medium of print. Clough had
a special interest in Marcantonio Raimondi, collecting over forty prints by him
at a time when such works commanded high prices. This article examines the
history and composition of Clough‘s collection and its place in the collecting
culture of northern England, and of Manchester in particular, around 1900.
