Collection Information

Undiscovered for a century, these fine academic studies have lain in a forgotten folio, created in 1885 by an unknown student of the South Kensington School of Art, which later became the Royal College of Art in London. Many are stamped E.S.K., a regular practice for works produced at the art school. Both classical and characterful works make up this eclectic selection, with some framed and ready to add a touch of quiet academic authority to your space.
