Baillieu Library Print Collection, University of Melbourne

The University of Melbourne’s Print Collection includes some 8,000 prints that date from the fifteenth century onwards. The majority of prints are European, as the collection is based on a gift of 3,700 Old Master prints donated by Dr John Orde Poynton in 1959. The Print Collection was further enhanced in 1964 with Harold Wright’s bequest of half his Lionel Lindsay print collection. Overtime, the collection has acquired the work of further Australian artists, including Nicholas Chevalier, John Shirlow, Deborah Klein and Bea Maddock, among others, listed in this project.
