Serie RAS COLL6/5 - Artworks

4 archival folders

Catalogues and handlists for the artworks in the Collections of the Society. These are:

• 'Pictures and Busts etc. at the Royal Asiatic Society' - typed catalogues with handwritten annotations and insertion. There are three copies, each bound with ribbon and two still having brown front and back paper covers. One of these is labelled Library copy, the other Mr Foster. W. Foster prepared these lists and subsequently wrote an article about the collections for the Journal of the Society. These give descriptive listings of the artworks of the collections in the 1920s.
• 'Index to List of Pictures, Prints, Busts, & other sculptures' - two copies of alphabetical lists of the artworks in the collections. One list is handwritten on lined foolscap paper, the other is handwritten on individual labels which have been pasted into an unlined notebook. These presumably accompany the above catalogues.
• 'The Pictures of the Royal Asiatic Society' by W. Foster. Offprints from the Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society, January 1924. Two copies with some annotations.
• 'Royal Asiatic Society: List of prints, drawings and photographs kept in the Library' - typed list on foolscap paper, undated
• Artworks on view in the Society's premises at Stephenson Way. Information sheets produced c.2012. Computer printed.
